  „In a comparison of 175 women who delivered before week 37 of gestation and 313 women who delivered after, there was no effect of drinking four or more cups of coffee per day during pregnancy on the risk of preterm delivery (18). A much larger study of 12,205 women published the same year found no significant association between coffee consumption and risk of low birth weight, short gestation or congenital malformations after correction for confounders (19). “

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide

  „Coffee has been a medical whipping boy for so long that it may come as a surprise that recent research suggests that drinking moderate amounts of coffee (two to four cups per day) provides a wide range of health benefits. Most of these benefits have been identified through statistical studies that track a large group of subjects over the course of years and match incidence of various diseases with individual habits, like drinking coffee, meanwhile controlling for other variables that may influence that relationship. According to a spate of such recent studies moderate coffee drinking may lower the risk of colon cancer by about 25%, gallstones by 45%, cirrhosis of the liver by 80%, and Parkinson's disease by 50% to as much as 80%. Other benefits include 25% reduction in onset of attacks among asthma sufferers and, at least among a large group of female nurses tracked over many years, fewer suicides.“

Effects of Coffee and Tea on Heart Disease

  „Excessive coffee drinking is often thought to lead to higher blood pressure. It's been shown that drinking 4-5 cups of coffee can raise your blood pressure by 5 points, compared to having only 1 cup. This isn't a huge amount, but the consequences over the years can lead to heart attacks and strokes.“

  „While one or two cups of coffee doesn’t seem like a lot, it is important to note that portion size has changed over the years. The traditional coffee cup has, for most people, given away to a larger mug. The average cup of coffee is now 9 ounces.“

Coffee History - Learn about coffee...

  „A pound of tea, on average, has twice the caffeine of a pound of coffee. But a pound of tea yields about 160 cups, while a pound of coffee makes only about 40 cups. The net result is that a cup of tea contains roughly one-quarter the caffeine in a cup of coffee. Caffeine content is nearly identical in all shades of roasts of coffee.“
