Coffee: Old Familiar Becomes New Favorite (#)
„Despite years of speculation and research, scientists have not been able to link normal levels of caffeine intake to major chronic diseases like heart disease or cancer. The most common and well-defined effect of coffee stems from its role as a central nervous system stimulant. Within 30 to 60 minutes of drinking coffee, caffeine levels peak to produce alertness and heightened concentration. While some people do well with this boost, others become over-stimulated; side effects include insomnia, anxiety, irritability and diarrhea.“

„On a final note, if you are looking for ways to reduce your caffeine intake without giving up coffee or sacrificing taste, there are a couple creative alternatives to decaffeinated coffee. Besides simply drinking less regular coffee, experiment with blending regular coffees naturally low in caffeine with a decaffeinated coffee to create your own favorite low-caffeine coffee. Try mixing one part of a distinctive, full-bodied regular arabica coffee such as Kenya, Yemen Mocha, Sumatra, or Guatemala with two parts of a mild decaffeinated coffee such as Costa Rican or Colombian. The resulting blend will have 80 to 85% less caffeine per cup than popular grocery store coffees and taste like a true specialty coffee.“

„In a prospective cohort study which recruited 431 pregnant women and identified all spontaneous abortions after day 21 of gestation and made 7 prospective assessments of caffeine intake, there was no association between caffeine intake and early foetal growth as assessed by crown-rump length on ultrasonic examination (16). In a second prospective study of 2291 mothers, an inverse association between caffeine intake and birth weight was observed after correction for confounders although there was no association with consumption of decaffeinated coffee (21). However, the authors noted that the small decrease in birth weight observed was unlikely to be clinically important unless six or more cups of coffee were consumed every day. “
