Garlic, The Pungent Spice Which Kills Bowel Cancer Cells, Researcher Find

Kyle J. Norton, Master of Nutrition

Studies suggested that garlic may have a potential in killing bowel cancer cells before they can spread to form colonization.

Bowel cancer also known as colorectal cancer, is a chronic and medical condition caused by the abnormal proliferation of cells in the colon, rectum, or vermiform appendix.

Bowel cancer is relatively very common and slowly growing cancer. The progression of cancer and is predictable.

The exact causes of bowel cancer are unknown. researchers as of today do not know why people in the same health condition and age in the same family and similar dietary pattern, some are susceptible to the onset of bowel cancer, while others do not.

However, researchers do know that certain risk factors are associated with the development of the disease, including age, family history

Some researcher suggested that the mutated gene inherited from the parents, certain medical conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease,  polyps, obesity are also some of the bowel cancer prevalent risk factors.

A recent study also showed people who smoke and consume high volumes of red meat are also in the elevated risk of the onset of the disease.

Truly, following a healthy diet and active lifestyle can decrease the risk of bowel cancer by 10 folds. Dr. IAIN ROBERTSON, the lead author at the Monash University, in the study "Colorectal cancer, diet and lifestyle factors: opportunities for prevention" wrote " The potential for colorectal cancer risk reduction by decreasing consumption of animal fats, red meat, alcohol, and cigarettes, by increasing physical activity levels, and by increasing intake of fruits, vegetables and dietary fibre".

If you are experiencing symptoms of a change of bowel habits that last longer than one month, persistent rectal bleeding, abdominal pain that does not stop,.and blood in the stool, please check with your doctor to rule out the possibility of bowel cancer.

Garlic (Allium sativum) is a species in the onion genus, belonging to family Amaryllidaceae, native to central Asia.

The pungent spice has been used popularly in traditional and Chinese medicine in treating common cold and flu to the Plague, blood pressure cholesterol levels, natural antibiotic, etc.

Allicin (diallyl thiosulfinate), is the best-known biologically active component in freshly crushed garlic, found to reduce the risk of bowel cancer through inhibiting bowel cancer cell lines HCT-116, LS174T, HT-29, and Caco-2, via the activity of Nrf2, according to The Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Nrf2 is a protein that regulates the expression of antioxidant proteins to protect the cells against damage and injury caused by oxidative stress triggered by inflammation.

However, in the colon cancer cell lines, overexpression of Nsf2 can initiate cancer cells apoptosis.

The Chungbuk National University study that uses colon cancer cell (SW620 and HCT116) to investigate whether sulfur compounds thiacremonone isolated from garlic could modulate NF-kappaB activity and thereby induce apoptotic cell death of colon cancer cells, suggested, application of different concentrations ranged from 30 - 150 microg/ml of thiacremonone for the periods from 0 to 48 hour inhibited colon cancer cell (SW620 and HCT116) growth followed by induction of apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner.

Further analysis showed that the efficacy of the novel sulfur compound against colon cancer cell growth and induction of apoptotic cell death was attributed to the compound's function in modulating of NF-kappaB, a protein that controls transcription of DNA, cytokine production and cell survival.

In vitro, intake of garlic and its lipid-based extracts, induced cell cycle arrest, through a fourfold increase in caspase activity (apoptosis) in PC-3 cells when treated at a dose of 0.5 or 1 μg/m and may be considered a potential as promising anticancer agents, including colon cancer.

Dr. Baena R and Dr, Salinas P said, " Dietary factors and lifestyle may contribute to the increasing colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence... Fish consumption may decrease CRC risk by 12% whereas garlic intake is not significantly associated with reduced CRC risk".

In fact, diet represents 30-35% of risk factors that contribute to the onset of cancer, adding garlic in your diet together with the reduction of meat intake can reduce the risk of various cancers, including colorectal cancer

However, in the order to confirm garlic isolated compounds anti bowel cancer efficacy, further data collection on large example size and multi-centers studies performed with human consumption of the whole food during the course of the disease will be necessary.

Fennel, the Functional Herb Which Processes Anti-antispasmodic Activity, Scientists Find

Kyle J. Norton

Fennel may have a potential and positive effect in reducing pain through its anti antispasmodic property, some scientists suggested.

Anti-antispasmodic activity is an action that relieves, prevents, or lowers the incidence of muscle spasms, especially those of adnominal muscle in the uterus and smooth muscle such as in the bowel wall.

Certain hormones which have the function in controlling muscle contraction and relaxation are found to associate with the intensity of muscle spasms, if overexpressed.

Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a plant species of the genus, belonging to Apiaceae (Umbelliferae), native to the Mediterranean.

The herb has been used in traditional and herbal medicine as warming, carminative, antispasmodic, antidepressant agent and to stimulate the appetite, ease indigestion, soothe coughing, reduce intestinal spasms, to regulate the menstrual cycle and relieve PMS,...

In the findings, the natural antispasmodic ingredients with little or no side effects, Dr. Shamkant B. Badgujar and colleagues launched an investigation to compare doses of 2.5 and 10.0 mL/L of alcoholic extract with other Germanic medicinal plants, including Melissa officinalis, Rosmarinus officinalis, Mentha piperita,Matricaria chamomilla, Carum carvi, and Citrus aurantium.

The experiment was carried out on guinea pig ileum by using acetylcholine and histamine as spasmogens.

After taking into all account co and confounders account, researchers found that application tested doses of alcoholic extract of the fruits of Foeniculum vulgare exert a significant anti antispasmodic activity by inhibiting the acetylcholine and histamine-induced guinea pig ileal contractions.

Further analysis of the effects of n essential oil obtained from the fruits of Foeniculum vulgare at the doses of  25 μg/ and 10 μg/mL, researchers discovered that the injections also demonstrated the similar as of the extract but through the inhibition of hormone oxytocin and prostaglandin activities.

Oxytocin and prostaglandin are hormones with a function that causes contraction of the muscles of the uterus. Over contraction of muscles of the uterus is a major cause of the abdominal pain in women.

Additionally, the comparison of the antispasmodic property of 4 different herbal medicine that has been used in traditional medicine for the treatment of abdominal pain in Swiss mice, including fennel according to the guidelines of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) also found that all herbs used in the testing display a substantial reduction of abdominal pain without inducing any adverse effects.

In the experiment carried out in the guinea pig, application of fennel also showed significant relaxation in different agonists like histamine and acetylcholine-induced contractions in guinea pig ileum.

Interestingly, in the study to investigate whether oral fennel drop has any effects in primary dysmenorrhea, the occurrence of painful menstrual cramps of the uterus, researchers conducted an experiment on sixty college students who suffer from primary dysmenorrhea.

The participants were randomly assigned to two groups and followed up for two cycles. The treatment group was given fennel drop and the control group was given non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or oral contraceptive pills.

After assessing the final report, researchers suggested that both groups exert a clinic significant effect in reducing pain. However, comparison of bleeding severity in the study group before and after the intervention on the first day, second day, third day, fourth day, and fifth day was 0.948, 0.330, 0.508, 0.583, 0.890, respectively.

Dr. Bokaie M, the lead scientist said, "fennel can be effective in reducing the severity of dysmenorrhea, but it has an unpleasant taste in view of most of the volunteers".

Taken all together, fennel may be considered a secondary and therapeutical form of treatment in reducing pain caused by overexpression of hormones that control the muscles contraction through its antispasmodic activity.

Respiratory Disease: 5 Most Common Complications of Bronchiectasis

By Kyle J. Norton

Respiratory disease is a medical condition, affecting the breathing organ and tissues including Inflammatory lung disease, obstructive lung diseases, restrictive lung diseases, respiratory tract infections, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, the nerves and muscles breathing, etc,

According to a statistic provided by the Office of Diseases Prevention and Health Promotion, currently, more than 25 million people in the United States have asthma. Approximately 14.8 million adults have been diagnosed with COPD, and approximately 12 million people have not yet been diagnosed.

Complications are secondary diseases or conditions aggravating an already existing one.
Bronchiectasis
Bronchiectasis is a condition characterized by the damage of the localized, irreversible dilation of a part of the bronchial tree and the walls of the large airways of the lung as a result of the destruction of the lung muscles and elastic tissues.

Bronchiectasis can be presented alone.

The exact causes of bronchiectasis are unknown. However, researchers do know that certain risk factors including childhood infections, severe lung infection in childhood, immunodeficiency, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), aspiration,  cystic fibrosis, cilia abnormalities, and connective tissue diseases are associated with the increased risk of the onset of the disease.

In the article "Gene Mutations Linked to Other Lung Diseases May Contribute to Bronchiectasis, Study Suggests", Dr. Patricia Inacio wrote, "Mutations in genes linked to other lung diseases, specifically cystic fibrosis and primary ciliary dyskinesia, may also contribute to bronchiectasis, according to researchers from China".

 But in most cases, it is a disease coexisted with a patient of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

If you have developed symptoms of a chronic cough, coughing up blood. abnormal weird sounds or wheezing in the chest with breathing. shortness of breath and chest pain, you may have bronchiectasis. Please check with your doctor to rule out the possibility.


Complications
1. Arterial stiffness (an indicator of increased CV risk), increased inflammation, reduced exercise capacity and bone thinning.

In the study to investigate of a total of 20 patients with noncystic fibrosis bronchiectasis and compare to 20 controls similar in age, gender and smoking exposure, researchers found that patients with bronchiectasis had increased arterial stiffness (an indicator of increased CV risk), increased inflammation, reduced exercise capacity and bone thinning (28).

2. T Hemoptysis
T Hemoptysis is a common complication of bronchiectasis. Patients with bronchiectasis complicated by primary hyperfibrinolysis do not respond to regular treatment for hemoptysis, which may potentially cause fatal consequences, according to the study by Department of Respiratory Diseases, Southern Medical University. (29).

3. Acute respiratory failure from bilateral broncholithiasis
There is a report of a case of acute airway obstruction secondary to bilateral broncholiths. Successful management was achieved with rigid bronchoscopy(30).

4. Endobronchial nocardiosis
There is a report of a case of endobronchial nocardiosis associated with the presence of a broncholith(31).

5. Pneumonia
There is a report of a 56-year-old woman visited our hospital in 2003 and right upper lobe pneumonia was detected with a calcified nodule that completely obstructed the right upper lobe bronchus on CT.

After admission, she spontaneously expectorated a stone. The composition of the stone was 57% calcium phosphate and 43% calcium carbonate.

Radiological findings and the composition of the stone suggested that this broncholith was calcified bronchial mucus rather than a calcified lymph node that might have perforated into the airway.

Bronchiectasis of the right B3 bronchus was observed on CT scan after lithoptysis. Although the bronchiectasis was unchanged 2 years later, she had no symptoms, such as a fever or a cough(32).

Green Tea, the Beverage May Speed Up the Healing Process of Tendinitis, Scientists Show

By Kyle J. Norton, Master of Nutrition

Green tea may have a therapeutic and positive effect on the healing of tendinitis by protecting the collagen stability and fibrous connective tissue, some scientists suggested.

Tendinitis is a condition characterized by inflammation of a tendon as a result of overuse, infection or rheumatic disease.

The condition mostly happens to people who have jobs involved repetitive movements. Some

Some researchers suggested that in order to prevent tendinitis, it is better to change activities, or rest and come back to it later.

Most cases of tendinitis can be successfully treated with rest, sometimes with physical therapy.

Intake medication may also have a profound effect on reducing pain. However, they may induce common and serious side effects, depending on the types of medicine.

Please make sure that you understand all the side effects, if you are currently taking the medicine for relieving pain.

Most cases of tendinitis are recurrent if the thick fibrous cords that attach muscle to bone are continuously overuse due to the occupation

Most common symptoms of tendinitis are a pain, tenderness and mild swelling often described as a dull ache in the affected location particularly, in the limb or joint.

Tendonitis should be treated according to the medical guideline. The untreated condition may cause some complications, including chronic pain in the affected area that may interfere with daily activity and reduce the quality of life. Some untreated tendonitis may cause pain to spread to other parts of the body.

Some patients with untreated tendonitis are also experiencing psychological problems, such as anxiety and depression due to constant pain.

Green tea, a precious drink processes numbers of health benefit known to almost everyone in Asia and Western world.

According to the study of the effect of GT and/or glycine in the diet on tendinitis on Wistar rats, randomly divided into seven groups (G): control group (C); G1 and G4, tendinitis; G2 and G5, tendinitis supplied with GT; and G3 and G6, tendinitis supplied with GT and a glycine diet for 7 or 21 days, respectively, group with tendinitis treated with green tea demonstrated a significant effect in enhanced collagen stability through expression of hydroxyproline in compared to other groups.

Furthermore, GT and glycine alone treated groups showed an increased activity of metalloproteinase-2 MMP-2 levels which has been associated with the healing process of the fibrous connective tissue in tendinitis patients.

In compared to control and non GT treatment groups, application of green tea or GT+ glycine group displayed a statistical significance in the decreased muscle retardation.

After taking into account all co-founders, Dr. Vieira CP, the lead author said, " GT + a glycine diet has beneficial effects that aid in the recovery process of the tendon after tendinitis".

Interestingly, in the study investigated the remodeling effects of green tea and glycine in the myotendinous junction (MTJ) of male Wistar rats with tendinitis, randomly divided into five groups: animals without tendinitis and animals with tendinitis; animals with tendinitis supplied with green tea; animals with tendinitis supplied with a glycine diet; animals with tendinitis supplied with a green tea and glycine diet, researcher found that all treatment groups exerted a profound effect in regulated the activity of metalloproteinases (MMP)-2 with function in remodeling the tendon after tendinitis, MMP-8 and -9 which are associated to remodeling tissue expression in the disease progression and induced the synthesis of type I collagen regulation by cell spreading, platelet-derived growth factor and interactions with collagen fibers.

Moreover, rats groups treated above application also demonstrated an increase of glycosaminoglycans, in stimulating the regenerative processes, while maintaining host cell characteristics and function and non-collagenous proteins in modulated the development of fine fibrils presented in collagen fibers of connective tissue

Additionally, the combination of green tea and glycine also modulated the inflammatory process through the stimulated production of anti-inflammatory factors and induced the synthesis of the elements, such as extracellular matrix involved in the post-lesion recovery of the tissue.

These results indicated that the recovery from injured tendon can be achieved through improving the compaction of the collagen molecules and inducing assembly of early collagen fibers.


After taking into account all cofounders, researchers, and colleagues at the Anat Rec said, " each region of the inflamed tendon can exhibit different responses during the treatment and therefore, modify its extracellular matrix components to facilitate recovery and repair".

The findings suggested that green tea may be considered a functional food for speeding up the healing of tendinitis.

However, intake of supplement for treatment of tendinitis should be taken with exceptional care in the prevention of acute liver toxicity.

Yoga Improves Psychological and Physical Symptoms and Quality of Life in Ulcerative Colitis Patients

Kyle J. Norton (Master of Nutrients, All right reserved)


Yoga may be used as secondary therapy in improved psychological and physical activities and enhanced quality of life in patients with ulcerative colitis, studies suggested

Ulcerative colitis is one form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) characterized by long-lasting inflammation and ulcers (sores) in the digestive tract.

Yoga, the ancient practice for harmonized external and internal body well being, through breath control, meditation, bodily movement, and gesture..... has been well known for people in the Western world and some parts in Asia.

In the study of a total of 77 patients (75% women; 45.5 ± 11.9 years) with ulcerative colitis in clinical remission due to impaired quality of life randomly assigned to yoga (12 supervised weekly sessions of 90 min; n = 39) researchers indicated that
* Yoga group improved a significant quality of life compared to control after 12 weeks of the lesson, and additionally, at week 12, the improvement in yoga group reached a clinically relevant increase in quality of life.

* Yoga participants also expressed a reduced activity of the disease after 24 weeks.

* Only 3 patient experienced serious adverse events
Dr. Cramer H, the led author after adjusting to other factors said, "Yoga can be considered as a safe and effective ancillary intervention for patients with ulcerative colitis and impaired quality of life".

The improvement of quality of the life in tested subjects due to the reduction of physical and psychological symptoms was attributed to yoga slow breathing, meditation in enhancing the function of the central nervous system in hormone rebalancing which has a strong impact in the inhibition of psychological symptoms in the participants and yoga posture in strengthening the muscles and promoting blood circulation to the body need for physical activity, thus reducing physical symptoms.

Additionally, in support to the above analysis, researchers at the joint study led by All India Institute of Medical Sciences conducted a study of 100 IBD patients [ulcerative colitis (UC) n = 60 and Crohn's disease (CD) n = 40] during the clinical remission phase of disease, randomly assigned to either the yoga group with an 8-week yoga intervention (physical postures, pranayama, and meditation), 1- hour/day in addition to standard medical therapy (UC, n = 30; CD, n = 20) or the control group (UC, n = 30; CD n = 20), researchers after taking into account co and confounders found the below interesting results
* Yoga group displayed a reduction of UC patients in reported arthralgia, compared to control

* Numbers of Yoga group experienced reduced intestinal colic pain were lower compared to higher in the control group.

3. Yoga participants also expressed an improvement of state and trait anxiety levels.

These results suggested that yoga practice with meditation and slow breathing also have a strong effect in influence the hormone production of the central nervous system. By calming the central nervous system in reducing overproduction of certain hormones that are responsible for muscle constriction, thus decreasing pain.

Taking all together, yoga may be considered an integrated form of exercise for improvement of psychological and physical activities and quality of life in ulcerative colitis patients without inducing any side effects.

Yoga, the Integrated form of Exercise in Alleviating Symptoms of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOs)

By Kyle J. Norton (Master of Nutrients, All right reserved)

Yoga therapy may be considered an integrated form of exercise in reducing symptoms in women with Polycystic ovarian syndrome.

The polycystic ovarian syndrome is an endocrinologic disease among reproductive-age women caused by undeveloped follicles clumping on the ovaries that interfere with the function of the normal ovaries, associated with a high risk for the metabolic disorder.

Sadly, women with PCOs also have a higher risk of menstrual disorders, infertility, abnormal levels of hormone levels.

Certain medical conditions are also found to associate to the onset of PCOs such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, and triglycerides.

Researchers do not know why women who process the same health condition and follow a similar diet pattern, some are susceptible to the onset of the syndrome, while others do not.

However, epidemiological studies suggested that family history of PCOs, fast food diet habits, body mass index and waist circumference are possible risk factors for the development of PCOS.

Some researchers also suggested that the mutated gene inherited from the parents are also a major factor that causes PCOs, including gene CYP11a.

Most common symptoms of PCOs include overexpression of acne, overweight or obesity, abdominal pain, the excessive male pattern of hair growth on the face, nipple area, chest, lower abdomen, bald spots, dark patches. In some women. The syndrome also can lead to psychological symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Treatment of PCOs is totally depended on the presence of the symptoms including medication for treatment of overexpression of hormone androgen and insulin resistance.

Yoga, the ancient technique for harmonized external and internal body well being, through breath control, meditation, bodily movement, and gesture..... has been well known for people in the Western world and some parts in Asia.

In a study of Ninety (90) adolescent (15-18 years) girls from a residential college in Andhra Pradesh satisfied the Rotterdam criteria and randomly assigned into 2 groups with yoga group practiced a holistic yoga module, while the control group practiced a matching set of physical exercises (1 hour/day, for 12 weeks), researchers after adjusting to other co confounders, showed that
*Yoga group expressed a significant change in hormones Anti-müllerian hormone AMH luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and LH/FSH ratio and particularly in hormone testosterone, compared to control.

* Yoga group also showed an improvement of The Ferriman–Gallwey score in evaluating and quantifying Hirsutism.

* There were an insignificant change of FSH and prolactin after intervention in both groups.

*4. More importantly, yoga group displayed favorably in changes of menstrual frequency compared to control

Dr. Nidhi R, the led author after reviewing the efficacy in yoga group, said, "A holistic yoga program for 12 weeks is significantly better than physical exercise in reducing AMH, LH, and testosterone, mFG score for hirsutism, and improving menstrual frequency with nonsignificant changes in body weight, FSH, and prolactin in adolescent PCOS"

The efficacy of yoga practice in reducing the expression of the male pattern of hair growth and changes of menstrual frequency is attributed to meditation and slow breathing in calming the central nervous system in response to hormone production. Thus reducing overexpression of certain hormones that associate to the symptoms of PCOs.

Additionally, in the investigated yoga therapy in the reduced primary symptoms of glucose metabolism and blood lipid levels in adolescent girls with polycystic ovary syndrome in same above group met the Rotterdam criteria for PCOS, researchers found that

* Yoga intervention displays a significant improvement of fasting insulin, fasting blood glucose, and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance compared to control.

* Yoga group also expresses a strong effect in blood lipid values except for high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.

* There was no change of body mass index, waist circumference, hip circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio, in both groups

Interestingly, in the study of possible use of Kapalabhati yoga technique to combat metabolic syndrome (MS) and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), researchers at the Cyberjaya University College of Medical Sciences conducted a review of published literature from PubMed, Scopus, and found that Kapalabhati may be helpful in reducing symptoms of various features of MS, but its efficacy against PCOS had not been found.

Dr. Ansari RM after adjusting to other aspects said, "since both syndromes arise due to a common factor hyperinsulinemia primarily induced by stress in this modern world, it is hypothesized that Kapalabhati holds good against PCOS too ".

How yoga exhibited these kinds of effect are unclear, However, according to the article "Yoga for a Metabolic Makeover" written by CATHERINE GUTHRIE stress relief and feelings of well-being fostered by a regular yoga practice serve to rebalance the nervous system may be the major factor that  has a strong effect in the improvement of metabolic syndrome through reducing the overexpression of pro-inflammatory cytokine in facilitating the onset of type 2 diabetes and lipid peroxidation, thus reducing the risk of insulin resistance and high blood cholesterol"

The information collected from above differentiation suggested that yoga may be used as a secondary and integrated form of exercise combined with standard treatment in reduceing the symptoms of PCOs.

Bad news for pregnant women and coffee lovers, excessive maternal caffeinated coffee intake may associate to increased risk of pregnancy loss, some studies suggested

Pregnancy loss is a natural death of an embryo or fetus before it is born, including spontaneous abortion, miscarry, stillbirth...

Coffee, becoming a popular and social beverage all over the world, particularly in the West, is a drink made from roast bean from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

In a total of 130 456 participants and 3429 cases in fourteen included studies, researchers found that women with
* No or very low caffeine intake, have a relative risk of pregnancy loss of 1.02.

* Moderate intake (150-349 mg/d) showed an increased relative risk of 1·16.

* High intake (350-699 mg/d) showed a relative risk of 1·40.

* Very high intake (≥ 700 mg/d) showed a relative risk of 1·72

The risks of pregnancy loss were increased linearly and correlatively to numbers of a cup of coffee intake per day.

According to the joint study led by the National University of Singapore and National University Health System, additional intake of 1 cup of coffee in women who are regular coffee drinkers similar to 100 mg/d increment caffeine intake was associated with 7% higher risk of pregnancy loss.

Furthermore, a case-control and cohort review study reported in English, the exposure of caffeine/coffee consumption during pregnancy, from selected 26 studies included (20 of caffeine and eight of coffee) suggested that the relative risk ratio of pregnancy loss due to caffeine consumption was 1.32

The study also found that risk of pregnancy loss increased substantially to 19% for every increased caffeine intake of 150 mg/day and every additional 2 cups of coffee intake, the risk of pregnancy loss increased by 8%.

The findings suggested that excessive maternal caffeinated coffee intake is associated to increase the risk of pregnancy loss. However, researchers can not explain why? pregnant women with the same health condition and gestation age, some are susceptible to pregnancy loss while others do not.

These results might suggest that although excessive coffee intake during pregnancy is considered a risk factor, there must be some others unknown risk factors involved in the manifestation of the onset of the loss.

Truly, there are many implications associated with pregnancy loss including ages of the father, genetic mutation or polymorphism in the father that can lead to the production abnormal chemicals or hormones by the embryo, sperm quality sperm chromosomes, ..... and unhealthy lifestyle choice of the father may also associate to the risk of pregnancy loss.


Dr. By Dr. Suhasini Inamdar, in the article "A man’s unhealthy lifestyle may also be responsible for a miscarriage: posed in the Economic Time wrote, "Men who drink alcohol heavily also have lower sperm motility and concentration. - Excess coffee consumption can further lead to reduced sperm concentration and count.  Men who eat red meat have lower implantation and resultant pregnancy rates as well. Not getting enough vitamin D and vitamin B12"

Taking all together, there is no doubt that excessive intake of coffee during pregnancy-induced high risk of pregnancy loss but according to the statistic, North American women seldom drink more than 4 cups/day so we may be in the safe zones.
