SCIENTISTS SAY THAT BEER MAY HELP AN UNBORN CHILD


For centuries now, we've been taught that it's bad for a woman with child to consume any alcohol, however, this all changed, according to certain scientists. Dr. Blake Glasco, head research scientist and spokesperson for the Research Center for Alcoholism, has released a statement today, talking about the effects of alcohol on an unborn fetus.  Studies have always shown that birth defects are related to the consumption of alcoholic beverages or different types of illegal narcotics.  Today, for the first time, Dr. Glasco has said that a limited amount of alcohol may actually benefit an unborn child. This was breaking news for the research firm and believes with further development, they may be able to stop or even illuminate alcoholism.  "In the past, we've always said to stay away from alcohol.  However, research is beginning to tell us that there's a type of training your body undergoes when you're in the womb and with a very modest amount of alcohol, your child will actually fight the urge to drink later in life," Dr. Glasco expressed.

While research indicates that mild use is okay, or even good, it still comes highly recommended that it's watched under a close and responsible eye.  Chronic alcohol use can have the reverse effect and actually produce alcoholism in young adults if the mother consumed while they were in the womb. Glasco states, "When you're bit by a snake, you use anti venom.  Where does anti venom come from?  It comes from the snake.  So, we applied the same principle to alcohol. By giving a woman with child up to two drinks a day, she is actually fighting the natural element that causes alcohol dependency."

Research for this finding will continue to harvest, however, if Glasco is right, then the cure to alcoholism might be in your next pint of beer.  We asked Dr. Glasco if he would recommend the results to pregnant woman and perhaps even put beer in maternity wards, he responded, "The effects of alcohol are being studied every day.  We're gaining on alcoholism one step at a time. I'm truly confident that this phenomena will rid the world of alcoholism, however, I can't recommend using the technique at this time.  We will just have to wait for further answers to come.  These are exciting times and we hope to bring something to the table very soon."

Edit: The editor of this story will not endorse this article and should be used strictly for information only.  We in no way recommend the use of alcohol while carrying child and furthermore recommend woman with child refrain from drinking any sort of alcoholic substance.  We urge you to use common sense and wait until Dr. Glasco releases more concrete information.
