Coffee does not increase pregnancy risks, genetic study suggests
Coffee consumption during pregnancy was not linked to an increased risk for adverse outcomes, according to a study in the International Journal of Epidemiology.
A recently published genetic study suggests that limited coffee consumption is generally safe for pregnancy . Specifically, researchers from the University of Queensland used genetics to analyze coffee -drinking behavior and found that consuming coffee in moderation does not increase the risk of miscarriage, stillbirth or premature birth.
Genes reveal coffee is safe during pregnancy, study suggests
Researchers have used genetics to analyze coffee drinking behavior, and their findings show limited coffee consumption during pregnancy didn't increase the risk of miscarriage, stillbirth or ...
A new genetic study found no causation between drinking coffee during pregnancy and risks for miscarriage, stillbirth or premature birth.
Coffee during pregnancy safe for baby's brain development, study suggests
The researchers use genetic analysis to understand complex traits and diseases especially in early life, with a previous study by Dr Moen showing that drinking coffee in pregnancy did not affect ...
BRISBANE, Australia — Pregnant women with a taste for coffee can rejoice, a new genetic study finds the popular beverage is perfectly safe to drink while women are with child. Researchers from the University of Queensland found that consuming coffee in moderation does not increase the risk of miscarriage, stillbirth, or premature birth.
Mendelian randomization study of maternal coffee consumption and its ...
Both weighted and unweighted maternal genetic risk scores for higher coffee consumption were associated with elevated coffee consumption at Week 32 of gestation. Maternal coffee consumption during pregnancy may not contribute to adverse outcomes such as stillbirth, sporadic miscarriages and pre-term birth.
Genetic analysis of coffee drinking behavior by Drs. Gunn-Helen Moen, Daniel Hwang, and Caroline Brito Nunes from the University of Queensland's Institute for Molecular Bioscience revealed that limited coffee consumption during pregnancy did not increase the risk of miscarriage, stillbirth, or premature birth.
Genetics reveal moderate coffee intake is safe during pregnancy
"We wanted to find out if coffee alone really does increase the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, and the research shows this isn't the case." Dr. Hwang said coffee drinking behavior is partly due to genetics , with a specific set of genetic variants affecting how much coffee we drink.
The genetic analysis found there was no greater risk of miscarriage, stillbirth or premature birth for women who drank coffee . "When it comes to diet during pregnancy women are often advised to cut things out, but this study shows they can still enjoy coffee without worrying about increasing the risk of these pregnancy outcomes," Dr Hwang said.
