How Much Caffeine Is Safe During Pregnancy?

A note from Dr. Greger: I am thrilled to introduce Dr. Kristine Dennis, our Senior Research Scientist. Dr. Dennis is an experienced nutrition and public health scientist who joined NutritionFacts to expand our research capacity -- diving deep into the research, writing scripts, and now, narrating her own videos! You'll continue to see videos from both of us interspersed in no particular order. I'm so happy Kristine is with NutritionFacts to help expand our capacity and perspectives. Pregnancy greatly reduces our ability to metabolize caffeine. This video was scripted and narrated by our Senior Research Scientist, Dr. Kristine Dennis. We have many more videos on pregnancy.
