Coffee plantations in Brazil and other Latin American countries might have reason to fear a decline in coffee consumption among pregnant women.

A new study in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology has revealed that even moderate coffee drinkingin early pregnancy raises the possibility of miscarriage.

Coffee drinkers who consume more than 200 mg of caffeine a day, or just over two cups, doubled the risk of miscarriage compared to abstainers.

Tezcatlipoca, or "Smoking Mirror," was the god of the darkness, ancestral memory and time. He was also the Lord of the North and represented change through conflict.

Along with the god Quetzalcoatl, he created the world. While doing so, he sacrificed his foot as bait for the earth-monster Cipactli.

Tezcatlipoca usually appears black with yellow stripes across his face, and often assumes the shape of a jaguar.

Tezcatlipoca has the ability to tempt humans into self-destruction. However, when he assumes the form of a turkey he can also cleanse mortals of contamination and remove their guilt.
