You know the phrase “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Well it turns out that a cup of coffee a day—while pregnant—could keep your kid out of the NBA. explores the correlation between mothers who drink caffeine while pregnant and the height of their kids. A collaboration between over ten physicians and researchers, the study surveyed almost 2,500 mothers and children around the United States.
While this height difference might not seem like a big deal, researchers from the study point out the consistently observed shorter height “has been associated with increased risk of multiple cardiometabolic diseases in both pregnant and nonpregnant individuals.” Basically, if shorter heights persist into adulthood, there’s a great chance those children could develop heart disease or diabetes.
, a “moderate amount” of caffeine during pregnancy—defined as less than 200 milligrams per day or about a 12 ounce cup—“does not appear to be a major contributing factor in miscarriage or preterm birth.”
