30/n More broadly speaking, do we know that caffeine causes bad pregnancy outcomes? That is a VERY tricky question to answer
31/n This narrative review argues yes, absolutely, and while most people would agree a LOT of caffeine is a problem, much previous research has said that small amounts are probably not so badpic.twitter.com/50siPcJ8HD
32/n This narrative review argues that all such studies are the product of industry funding, which is not entirely untrue, but also doesn't really tell the whole story given that it disagrees with non-industry studies as wellpic.twitter.com/ynC0gKO1nj
33/n Ultimately, reviews like this come down to opinions Do we think that Prof James is correct and caffeine is definitely bad? Well, maybe. It depends on your perspective I think
34/n What we can't say is that this is new evidence, or even that we've proven anything here. It's one well-researched opinion that you may or may not agree with 
35/n Anyway, regardless of what you think of the review, it's probably worth correcting the inaccurate table @BMJ_EBM
36/n Also, for the record, I think the conclusions are pretty massively overstated, and also miss out a key part of recommendations which is the question of whether they'll be followed!pic.twitter.com/uPDQfv4aHI
37/n I should also say that I thoroughly dislike opinion pieces and media attention like this The evidence hasn't changed, and quite frankly I think pregnant people have enough to worry about without the fear that a cup of coffee will cause a miscarriage
Gid, from now on you get 3 tweets max. I'm sorry, them's the rules.
Are you trying to kill me that's not enough tweets how will my brain survive
Let me explain why I need loads of tweets. It's complex, but I think we'll worth the thread 1/n
