Adaptive physiological changes that occur in pregnant woman's body can fluctuate with the intake of substances with proven adverse biological effect on the body. Due to the fact that caffeine is one of the most chronically used xenobiotics it required a research for the impact of consuming caffeine on adaptive processes in the glucose and fatty acid homeostasis of a pregnant woman Many researchers emphasize its negative effect on the glucose and fatty acid homeostasis of the mother and her offspring. However, in spite of years of observation, there is no clear answer to what amount or in what period of time the caffeine modulates the adaptive processes during pregnancy. Because of the potential risk the supply of caffeine during pregnancy should be subjected to considerable restrictions.
