That ONE study showed that it was probably helping maintaining a healthy level of saturated fat NOt maintaining a healthy brain. Since then many other studies go against it but medias got throwed away by that one, so people believe it, and sure the lobeying go for that one. What the medias don't tell is that the subjects of that study had very healthy life styles so it's not hard to believe it wasn't directly correlated to the glass of wine. Plus, it was one glass of wine effects on the heart the object of the study NOT on a fetus. EVERY studies shows that alcohol CAN affect them. And I'm not saying your gonna end with a highly handicaped baby if you drink one glass of alcohol, but just for fun how do you know a baby wouldn't think 2.23% faster if it wasn't for that? Or wouldn't have less learning issues? or wouldn't have greater perceptions? or would'nt have been better in any other cognitive ability? Alcohol is a poison and the brain of a fetus don't have any protection against it, as opposed to us adults.
I don't know why you answered to my post in such a way, what you are saying is just not ok.
I greatly value your opinion on certain things but you should let go if you're not sure about something as important as that. We are talking about the effects of a well known drug on a fetus, the point is not to defend an opinion. I was trying to share the knowledge we have today about that subject, not downgrading your post or something like that.
