A vague point about health reporting you probably won't be interested in

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7705319.stm

Basically this article, despite its precise wording, what does it say to you? It says: you CAN'T have ANY caffeine when pregnant or your child WILL have "low birth weight" which means that it WILL develop heart problems and diabetes which means it WILL die earlier than everyone else and there will be NOTHING ELSE YOU CAN DO except STOP DRINKING CAFFEINE WHEN PREGNANT.

ps: I know it doesn't say PRECISELY that in the article but if you skim-read it thats the impression you get so in short health journalism is strangling our ability to make decisions for ourselves and its ALL LICENSED BY THE GOVERNMENT whether we be pregnant woman or no kthanksbye
