Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Warns Against Any Alcohol During Pregnancy
Health experts urge total abstinence from alcohol and tobacco for pregnant women as evidence mounts that fetal alcohol syndrome causes birth defects. Dr. David Smith notes alcohol as the leading teratogen, linking even moderate or binge drinking to growth deficiency, facial anomalies, and cognitive impairment in newborns. Smoking and marijuana inhalation during pregnancy also pose risks, including low birth weight, miscarriage, and organ defects, with studies showing dose related harm.
