Four cups of coffee a day could reduce a woman’s chances of having a baby by more than a quarter.
That’s according to researchers in Holland, who found women who got their caffeine fix more than three times a day were 26% less likely to conceive than those who drank less.
Drinking a few cups of coffee a day may prevent heart disease, a new study has found.
But before you all get excited – it only works on women. It apparently offers no protection to men – and what makes it worse is that scientists have no idea why.
OK, I’m pretty jealous now. For a moment there, I thought those early morning calls to coffee houses to get my caffeine fix had not been in vain.
New research from Japan has found that a sniff of early-morning Java could be just as effective at waking you up as taking a big old swig.
To aid the experiment, scientists got a bunch of rats and kept them awake all night. Personally, I’m wondering how, but that’s not the point of this story.
The sleepy rodents had reduced levels of mRNA, which are messenger molecules that indicate when a gene is being expressed. The lowered levels were found in eleven of the rats’ genes.
Pregnant women who drink two or more cups of coffee a day are twice as likely to have a miscarriage than those who avoid caffeine, according to a new study.
Scientists in the US believe they have finally put come up with strong evidence linking the threat of miscarriage with high doses of caffeine.
Their research is included in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
