"No safe amount of coffee..." for pregnant PEOPLE.

So there.

Pregnant people and their healthcare team should be paying more attention to coffee consumption: that’s one of the messages of a new meta-analysis that builds the case that ingesting any amount of caffeine is associated with negative pregnancy outcomes. But studying coffee consumption is more complicated than you might think, and others in the field of maternal nutrition say it’s not time to start advising people who are pregnant to go cold turkey.

I'll relay this to Jim, Bob, John, and Mike.

Luckily my wife never drank coffee before. She’s 29 weeks along as of tomorrow.

There is little to no data on how caffeine affects the pregnancies of transgender men or nonbinary people.

So the testing is incomplete.

Morning Mountain Dew perhaps? Red Bull?

That's really sloppy.

Pregnant people and people who identify as pregnant people. Let's be PC.

Haha nope. Just the occasional Diet Pepsi at dinner. On the other hand, I normally have 2-3 cups of coffee per day and/or a Monster energy drink if I really want to be productive.
