Thanks for your comment! I wrote an article about caffeine consumption during pregnancy, and like the blog you posted, I found some controversial information.
The American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology published a study showing that women who consume more than 200 mg of caffeine per day were twice as likely to have a miscarriage than women who did not consume caffeine. (In my article I mention some caffeine amounts in typical beverages and foods. A cup of coffee is suggested to have about 200 mg of caffeine).
Evidence shows a positive association between caffeine and increased risks during pregnancy. Healthcare providers offer different advice (some saying small amounts of caffeine occasionally is okay, others prefer no caffeine at all).
