More on Caffeine and Miscarriage

Two bloggers, and two very good comments. Here's more...

To "2LT Michael Noyes":
Here is the study: Maternal caffeine consumption during pregnancy and the risk of miscarriage: a prospective cohort study. Xiaoping Weng, et al. American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Just released today. The article was embargoed. That's why you could not yet find it online. It should be available now.

To "jacksmom":
GREAT point about the herbal tea. I certainly mean those of flower origin, without psychoactive properties, which many "herbal" teas have...lots of extras added, which may be of questionable safety.

I am talking about packaged herbal or loose teas available in supermarkets for coffee/tea emporiums: Peppermint tea, orange tea, chamomile tea, etc. You make a VERY valid point. Do NOT consume teas labeled as "herbal" which contain ingredients you do not recognize from a flower source. Always check with your doctor before using any product with "herbal" labeling. There is no FDA regulation, whether pregnant or not!

I'm glad you let me know what's on your mind! Other thoughts?
