Mothers-to-be drink coffee or increase their child's risk of leukemia

In a recent research paper published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, researchers from Anhui Medical University in China and others said that maternal coffee intake during pregnancy was directly related to an increased risk of acute leukemia (AL) in newborns.

Researcher Jian Cheng systematically analyzed a series of related literature and said that there is a strong link between women's coffee intake during pregnancy and an increased risk of acute leukemia in newborns. Neonatal acute leukemia includes acute myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Based on a comprehensive analysis of seven studies, the researchers found that the overall odds ratio between coffee intake and neonatal AL was 1.22 for each pregnant woman, 1.16 for women with moderate coffee intake, and 1.72 for high-level coffee drinkers (all three were compared with those who did not drink coffee or those with low-level coffee intake).

The authors say that high levels of maternal coffee intake are directly associated with neonatal acute myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and that there is a linear dose-effect relationship between coffee intake and neonatal risk. This study may help regulate the eating habits of pregnant women and promote the health of the next generation.
