Why the mother-want to be should not be consuming too much high street coffee
If you are a mother-to-be and a coffee lover, you might be very careful not consuming too much coffee, especially the high street coffee. The researchers warn you that consuming too much high street coffee may give bad effect to your pregnancy. Probably you are questioning why it might happen. The survey conducted by some researchers who put a big concern related to this matter shows that the coffee sold in many stalls, especially the high street coffee, contains high level of caffeine. And as we know, caffeine is like a sword with two blades, which means that it can be good or even give the bad impact towards the health.

As what have been shown from the survey, the highest level of caffeine in coffee sold in some stalls in high street is more than 50% from the maximum level which can be taken by the pregnant women in a day. The experts are worried if the high level of caffeine may affect the pregnancy and lead to birth defects, miscarriage, and even the premature delivery. Thus, it is advisable for the pregnant women not consuming too much high street coffee and start to limit their caffeine intake in a day. The maximum caffeine intake for pregnant women is about 200mg each day and not more than that.

The danger of high caffeine level in the body of pregnant women is explained by Alan Croizer, a researcher. Caffeine, in normal situation, needs five hours to be broken down by the body to become half of the previous level. Body needs much time to be able to break down caffeine and the process may be longer if it happens in the body of children, liver sufferers, and also pregnant women. This will be much longer in the unborn baby. His liver may work very hard to break down caffeine and it may give the long-term effect to them. All in all, it is better if you are not consuming too much high street coffee.
