Food therapy is a slowly recovering but effective method used in traditional medicine to ease symptoms and treatment of diseases, depending on the stages of the treatment which directly addresses the roots of the cause without inducing adverse effects.
Epidemiological studies do not agree that coffee and coffee caffeine intake during pregnancy may have a negative impact on child cognition and behavior.
Coffee, second to green tea is a popular and social beverage all over the world, particularly in the West, made from roasted beans from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.
Caffeine, a chemical stimulant found abundantly in caffeinated products, including tea and coffee is a class of methylxanthine having a profound impact on the central nervous system (CNS).
Cognition and Behavior is a group of neuro functions involving sensation and perception, learning and memory, attention, mental imagery, conceptual presentation, language expression, emotion response, and motor control,.....
In the study of examining maternal serum paraxanthine at <20 and ≥26 weeks' gestation with the child's intelligence quotient (IQ) and problem behaviors at ages 4 and 7 years among 2,197 mother-child pairs, researchers showed that paraxanthine, a structurally related to caffeine.and caffeine's primary metabolite concentration has a significantly inverted effect at ≥26 weeks' gestation with child's IQ at age 7 years.
And at <20 weeks, paraxanthine also expressed a linearly associated with internalizing behavior at age 4 years.
Paraxanthine is a caffeine metabolite and central nervous system (CNS) stimulant processed a similar potency equal to that of caffeine.
Interestingly, after taking into account a range of values applicable to most pregnant women, researchers indicated that coffee caffeine in contribution to serum paraxanthine concentration showed no significant effect in association with childhood IQ or problem behaviors.
In contrast to the healthy mothers, women's reported coffee intake per day during pregnancy was associated with a lower child's behavior rating scale (BRS), a complete overview of child and adolescent concerns and disorders, and ratings in anemic children. Even with the inclusion of other contributing factors and after anemic children were given appropriate treatment, coffee consumption continuously showed poor child cognition and behavior.
The Behavior Rating Scale (BRS) is an assessment frequently used by experts in the assessment of the development of child cognition and behavior in infants and children, including autism.
Dr.Engle PL, the lead author said, " The effects of postnatal coffee ingestion in Guatemala were seen for sleep duration, but not for cognitive development. Prenatal coffee ingestion was negatively associated with behavior rating scales".
Taking all together, coffee caffeine intake during pregnancy may not have any meaningful effect in association with children's cognitive development and measurement by behavior rating scales, excluding anemic children. But caffeine as a neural stimulant may have a negative impact on the brain function by altering fetal normal neural transmission during a stage of brain development, some researchers are concerned.
