National guidelines on alcohol use during pregnancy: a dissenting opinion
John S Whitehall MJA 2007; 186 (1): 35-37
Abstract Some longitudinal studies in human children have detected detrimental affects from exposure to low levels of alcohol. Normal public health standards for exposure to environmental toxins should be applied for the unborn baby. We do not know what level of alcohol exposure is safe and pregnant women can only be advised to abstain.
