Xinhua News Agency, this morning-British researchers have found that excessive caffeine intake by pregnant women will increase the chances of giving birth to underweight babies. Based on the findings, the Food Standards Agency recommends that pregnant women drink no more than two cups of coffee a day.

Researchers at the University of Leeds and the University of Leicester surveyed 2500 pregnant women and compared the data with their baby's birth weight, the Daily Mail reported Tuesday. Women who consume more than 200mg of caffeine a day are more likely to give birth to underweight babies. Caffeine not only reduces the birth weight of babies, but also increases the rate of spontaneous abortion in pregnant women. O'Brien, a physician at the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, said pregnant women should abstain from caffeine in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.

After studying the results, the British Food Standards Agency decided to reduce the daily intake limit of caffeine for pregnant women to 200 milligrams. This is equivalent to up to 2 large cups of instant coffee or 2 small cups of roasted coffee, 4 cups of tea, 5 cans of cola, 3 bottles of energy drinks or 5 bars of chocolate a day.

At present, Starbucks is targeting another hot spot in the catering industry, the doughnut shop. Hughes bought a 15% stake in the Noah doughnut chain and may put its coffee shop and doughnut shop in the same store as a mixed store in the future.
