I eat a fairly well-rounded, healthy diet. I'm vegan and don't consume much fat, don't smoke, and hardly drink. But I do consume vast amounts of strong coffee every day. To date, no conclusive evidence has been found to link caffeine with heart disease, cancer, or bone disease. Studies have shown that drinking more than 1 cup of coffee daily may increase the risk of miscarriage, according to Michele Kling, spokesperson for the March of Dimes.
Women can also choose to eliminate caffeine from the diet, says Kling.
If you are pregnant, you should check with their your doctor regarding any of your health concerns. What is known for sure is that the caffeine in your morning java jumpstarts your day. Those who are sensitive to the jolting effects of caffeine may want to consume even less. Too much caffeine can give you the jitters and contribute to insomnia. Make a 50-50 blend of caffeinated and decaf coffee and let your body adjust to the lower level of caffeine.
