A study from researchers in China indicates that coffee and tea consumption during pregnancy does not negatively impact children's cognitive development. Women who drank tea during the later stages of pregnancy had children scoring higher on cognitive and motor skills tests by age three compared to those who did not drink tea. In contrast, coffee consumption showed no significant effects on cognitive outcomes. The study monitored over 1,400 women in Anhui Province, examining how their drinking habits influenced their children's development at around 36 months, factoring in various maternal characteristics.
