drinks have the potential to cause a miscarriage but strong evidence for any claim has not been given yet.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the previous three years, the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\">Food <\/a>and Drug Administration has received over 90 event reports associating the energy drink <a href=\"https:\/\/energydrinkhub.com\/5-hour-energy-nutrition-facts\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/energydrinkhub.com\/5-hour-energy-nutrition-facts\/\">5-Hour<\/a> Energy with accidents or health issues, including one incidence of miscarriage, according to the New York Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The papers, however, do not state if the energy drink caused any of these problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Caffeine has been studied for years to see if it increases the chance of miscarriage, but the results have been mixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will discuss this topic in detail and
