Are there any serious health risks associated with caffeine?
There have been no scientific studies proving that caffeine is a serious contributor to any major health risk. It has not been found to play any part in causing any kind of cancer. However, there is some debate over whether cutting down on caffeine consumption may help women who are at a high risk for developing osteoporosis. Pregnant women should always check with their doctor first, but the general consensus is that moderate consumption either during pregnancy or while breastfeeding has no ill effects upon infant development. Excessive consumption during pregnancy, however, is still not recommended.Darren Williger is an over-caffeinated, low carbohydrate eating, winemaking enthusiast who writes for caffeinezone.com, mylowcarbpages.com, and homemadewine.
