27/n In this case, with a prevalence of ~35% for caffeine intake of 200mg or higher, the number of miscarriages attributable to this is: 0.35*(1-(1/1.28)) = 0.763 = ~76,300 miscarriages So, about a quarter of what's in this study

Fascinating studies showing fewer premature births (wondering about miscarriages) during lockdowns. What's your view on that? Was thinking about your point on stress (of which there's plenty while pregnant) and what the real (and not socially-induced) ranking of dangers is.

Maybe if James had read 20 in stead of 40 studies he could have used the spare time to lear statistics. As it is his apparent innumeracy is a giant blaring red flag for me. If this paper is just his opinion, I’m now inclined to not give it much credence at all.

As for the media picking up on the most eye-popping finding and running with that, that’s just life. Even if the journalist knew enough to spot the errors (they don’t), they would probably still run with it knowing full well that they have plausible deniability.

And those who do or did or will miscarry have more than enough to deal with than hearing this and bashing themselves for having had that one cup of coffee during pregnancy...

Thanks for this, though Twitter have done something to the web app that makes reading threads a pain - have to keep clicking on "additional replies".
