Any ideas?

The Choice between Food and Fuel

All it takes for Hans Dietrich Driftmann, a businessman from Germany's northern Holstein region, to explain the way the world works is a package of muesli -- or at least to explain the way his world, the world of agricultural markets, works.

Driftmann picks up a packet of "Köllns kernige Multikorn-Flocken" ("Kölln's Crunchy Multigrain Flakes") and reads out the list of ingredients: oats, wheat, barley and rye. Then he slips a set of price tables out of a plastic sleeve and does a couple of calculations to illustrate how the prices of the muesli's ingredients have changed: rye has gone up by 55 percent, barley by 70 percent and wheat 90 percent. The price of oats has also skyrocketed -- by 80 percent -- since the last harvest a year ago. This final figure is what really hits home for Driftmann.

i would have said the same thing about the tea, but after seeing the effects, i guess i'm a believer. my aunt loves drinking tea, and she wondered why she always feeled sooo woozy... when it was time for her appointment with her doctor, she asked her if she drinks tea. of course, she admitted to it, and adviced her to stop drinking it during pregnancy. there are large amounts of oxytocin (not sure of the spelling ) found in tea, rather than coffee, that apparently, affects the baby.

but then again, this is just the doctor has said.

I was warned about caffeine with my pregnancies and that was well over 25 years ago. Studies like this are done over and over and they usually contradict the one done previously. One day they say wine is good for you, the next day it isn’t. My belief is that what’s meant to be…will be.
The key is to just respect your body and not just during pregnancy.

Coffee 'doubles' the risk of miscarriage

Pregnant women who drink more than two cups of coffee a day may have double the risk of miscarriage, claim researchers.


The finding has led to calls for expectant mothers to limit or even stop drinking coffee, tea, caffeinated drinks or hot chocolate to be on the safe side.

Consultant obstetrician Pat O'Brien, spokesman for the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, said: "On the basis of this study, I think I'll be advising women to avoid caffeine during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, especially those with a history of miscarriage."

What about consuming Coca Cola?

I do not remember how many years ago but anyway I was watching the discovery chanel and they were talking about the consumption of coffee with a claim that if somene drinks 10 or more cups of coffee in a day , he/she is getting the deadly dose.

I usually drink more than that in a day
Is it healthy ? of course not.

But not only the coffee, anything abused in consumption/usage/whatever is not good for the well being of someone.
