A cohort study by Hinkle N Stefanie and team revealed that Moderate intake of coffee in second trimester was associated with a lower risk for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), lower glucose levels at GDM screening, and a more favorable cardiometabolic profile compared with no consumption. Further Caffeine intake was not associated with gestational hypertension or preeclampsia. The findings of the study are published in JAMA Network Open. The findings of the study might be reassuring for pregnant women with moderate caffeine intake and should be considered in the context of published data on associations with offspring health.
