Warning to Pregnant Women
It's common knowledge that consuming large amounts of drugs and alcohol is
harmful to a developing fetus. New medical studies released from Washington University
Medical School show that any exposure at all to alcohol or anesthetic drugs can
cause “brain cell suicide” in fetuses. Alcohol, in any amount, blocks the
formation of connections between cells in the brain. The result is that the
cells then die before they are even fully developed, with no new ones taking
their place. This causes learning disorders, poor motor skills, and other
afflictions such as schizophrenia.
