after my own heart

another article from the nytimes... (why can't i buy the hard copy of this newspaper in melbourne??) a balanced (in my opinion) discussion of the risks and benefits, and the data/information available about drinking during pregnancy.

conclusion - that the evidence compares excess with abstinence and finds for abstinence, BUT there's very little evidence for moderation (that word again). and there's a raft of historical evidence, anecdotal or otherwise, that probably implies relative safety in moderation.

i think EXTREMEs are dangerous... perhaps?
