In addition, the researchers also found that this relatively minimal amount of exposure may lead to higher body fat among males, when compared to those who were not exposed to caffeine. Although the study was in mice, the biological cause and effect described in the research paper is plausible in humans. http://www.physorg.com/news148658650.html Medicine & Health Tue, 16 Dec 2008 14:04:10 EST news148658650 Consuming caffeine at any time during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of fetal growth restriction (low birth weight), according to research published on bmj.com today. http://www.physorg.com/news144928057.html Medicine & Health Mon, 03 Nov 2008 09:47:37 EST news144928057 Caffeine consumption does not appear to be associated with overall breast cancer risk, according to a report in the October 13 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine.
