| alcohol-related birth defects: an update. | historically, mankind has at least suspected that alcohol was somehow connected with undesirable effects on progeny. in the 18th century, physicians became aware that maternal alcohol consumption resulted in excess fetal and neonatal mortality, low birth weight, and many other deleterious effects. perhaps as a response to the temperance and prohibition periods, scientists lost sight of or interest in the effects of alcohol in pregnancy. in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the issue surfaced again ... | 2011 | 3141958 |
