Low Dose Of Caffeine When Pregnant May Damage Heart Of Offspring For A Lifetime

Wow!! If confirmed, this is huge.

Low Dose Of Caffeine When Pregnant May Damage Heart Of Offspring For A Lifetime:
"A new study shows that the equivalent of one dose of caffeine (just two cups of coffee) ingested during pregnancy may be enough to affect fetal heart development and then reduce heart function over the entire lifespan of the child. In addition, the researchers also found that this relatively minimal amount of exposure may lead to higher body fat among males, when compared to those who were not exposed to caffeine."
