Too Much Coffee Bad for Fertility


(Read the complete article ... )

By RICK (Lee, Hae Chang) (544)

Summary :
According to this article, drinking more than four cups of coffee a day cut chances of conceiving by pregnancy.

The researchers, from Radboud University in Nijmegan, studied all women who had received IVF treatment in the Netherlands between 1985 and 1995. They found 16% of the women went on to conceive naturally, 45% within six months of their last IVF treatment. They used questionnaires to analyse how lifestyle factors affected a woman's chances of pregnancy.

Drinking alcohol at least three times a week carried the same risk as excessive caffeine intake. But smoking more than one cigarette a day and being overweight reduced the chances of pregnancy even more.

The researchers estimated that a 36-year-old woman who smoked, drank too much coffee and alcohol and was overweight, and who had been through three cycles of IVF, would have a 5% chance of a natural pregnancy. If she was a healthy weight and did not smoke or have too much caffeine or alcohol, her chance would be 15%.

My opinion :
Already we know about too much drinking coffee is not good for our body balance ,but we just think like this "hm.. drinking too much coffee .., it could be fatal for my body."

That's it. i mean even though something makes us dangerous, we just think about that and we don't change our habits.
as this article said, drinking more than 4 cups of coffee a day is fatal for woman's pregnancy. I think we have to think more about our healthy. For example, in case of drink coffee, alcohol, overweight and cigarette can make us fatal so.

What about that from tomorrow, before drink coffee, think one more time?

I think we should think about our health more seriously, too. These days, we can know many facts about the bad sides of our habits from many researchers. But we usually don't care them so much. That's our problem. This article shows us this is a simple example of this problem.

I'm a woman, and I wanna have children in my future, so I will try to remember this article before I drink some cups of coffee in a day.

We should think about health problem more seriously.
Many poeple think that "It is not about me" or "I don't care" something like this.
I will try to tell others who is drinking too much coffee because I have friends love coffee.

I didn't know it before. I drink a cup of coffee every morning. One time I read news and it explained drinking a cup of coffee every day is good for our health. However, if we drink too much coffee, it will hurt our body. According to the article, I also learn about drinking too much coffee would decrease our fertility. Next time before drinking some coffee, I would think about it.

I was so shocked by reading this article! I didn't know that!
Unfortunatelly, I love coffee...and I drink three cups of coffee in a day. I don't want to have a baby now, but I should quit this habit for my future. Also, I will tell my friends who love coffee like me. I knew that somoking and drinking too much are bad for our heakth; however I've never thought too much dinking coffee is slso bad. Anyway, too much is not good for everything.

one of the bad habit is drinking coffee because it may effect to your health and your life style. Many people in the world like drink coffee especially in the morning or when they smoke. however, drinking coffee is bad for your pocket and some people the spent more than 10 dollars every day that mean more than 3650 dollars, and this money can help family in some country in the world for one year. i had bad experience with coffee because I used to drink more than three cups every day, but that let me go to the hospital.
