Lifestyle During Pregnancy - Danish study on the effects of alcohol consumption during pregnancy
On June 20, 2012 several papers were published in the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaeologythat discuss the findings from the Lifestyle During Pregnancy Study. These papers expand on findings first published in late 2011. Some media and news outlets interpreted these findings to mean that it is okay to consume alcohol during pregnancy. However, the study findings to not justify such advice. CDC states that there is still no known safe amount of alcohol to consume while pregnant.
