5. THE MOTHER was drunk
WAY over the legal limit

The baby wasn't breating and needed emergency care to get it going. It's now in foster care while the mother is in custody.

She said she and a friend drank a case of beer.

pity.

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome/Stem Cell -- Learning and Behavior Problems In Children With Maternal Alcohol Damage (FAS) Led to Benefits Reported in Infants and Youth Responsive to Micronutrients

For over a decade restorations in health associated with micronutrition could not be explained. Glyconutrient-fostered stem cell production answers the riddle.

Woman arrested after giving birth while intoxicated

BARTLESVILLE, Okla. (AP) _ A woman has been arrested on child neglect charges after giving birth while drunk, police said.

Melissa Irene Tanner, 37, of Dewey, is accused of having a blood alcohol content close to three times the legal limit when she gave birth to a baby girl on June 30. She is being held in jail with bail set at $30,000 and the baby has been placed in foster care.

Antioxidants and fetal protection against ethanol teratogenicity. I. Review of the experimental data and implications to humans.

Cohen-Kerem R, Koren G.

Department of Pediatrics, University of Toronto, Hospital for Sick Children, 555 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5G 1X8. raanan.cohen-kerem@sickkids.ca

Ethanol is the most common human teratogen, and heavy drinking during pregnancy can result in serious adverse outcomes to the fetus. The cellular mechanisms by which ethanol induces damage in utero are not well understood, while induction of oxidative stress is believed to be one putative mechanism. Our objective is to review the data of antioxidant effects in experimental models of fetal alcohol syndrome. Prior to the description of the available experimental data, we will briefly review the mechanisms leading to ethanol-induced oxidative stress. Ethanol-induced oxidative damage to the fetus could be attenuated by a variety of antioxidants as was documented in whole animal and tissue culture studies. Experiments, retrieved from the literature search, are described and criticized. Although experimental data are still limited, the application of a treatment strategy that includes antioxidants is justified since antioxidant treatment in human pregnancy for pre-eclampsia was demonstrated to be safe and effective. The available experimental evidence and the safety of vitamins C and E in pregnancy suggest that experimental use of antioxidants in alcohol-consuming mothers should be seriously considered to reduce fetal alcohol damage.
