TLDR
La conclusion general es that el consumo of cafeina, hasta 300 mg/dia, no constituye un mayor riesgo of infarto al miocardio, of hipertension, o of modificacion of los niveles plasmaticos de indicadores of riesgos cardiovascular, como the proteina C reactiva y the homocisteina.
Abstract
La cafeina es el principal componente activo del cafe y los efectos del consumo de cafe se asocian mayoritariamente a la cafeina, una metilxantina que actua como antagonista de los receptores de adenina en el sistema nervioso. Son numerosos los efectos en la salud atribuidos a la cafeina, siendo algunos beneficos y otros deletereos: en la salud cardiovascular, diabetes tipo 2, tolerancia a la glucosa y sensibilidad a la insulina, en la cinosis hepatica y el carcinoma hepatocelular, entre otros efectos. Este articulo realiza una revision de dos aspectos de preocupacion en la salud publica relacionados con el consumo de cafe y la cafeina: su efecto en la salud cardiovascular y en la salud maternal (periodo perinatal). La conclusion general es que el consumo de cafeina, hasta 300 mg/dia, no constituye un mayor riesgo de infarto al miocardio, de hipertension, o de modificacion de los niveles plasmaticos de indicadores de riesgo cardiovascular, como la proteina C reactiva y la homocisteina. En relacion a la salud maternal, las conclusiones son similares, un consumo moderado de cafeina (300 mg/dia o menos) no constituye un riesgo de menor concepcion, de diabetes gestacional, de menor crecimiento fetal, o de defectos congenitos. La ausencia de riesgo, sin embargo, no constituye un estimulo al consumo de cafe durante el embarazo. Si el consumo de cafe por parte de la futura madre es moderado, puede considerarse la continuacion del consumo durante el embarazo bajo supervision medica

Coffee and Health: A Review of Recent Human Research

TL;DR: Current available evidence suggests that it may be prudent for pregnant women to limit coffee consumption to 3 cups/d providing no more than 300 mg/d of caffeine to exclude any increased probability of spontaneous abortion or impaired fetal growth, and there is little evidence that coffee consumption increases the risk of cancer.
