The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently released information on alcohol and pregnancy, and now scientists at the North Carolina Research Campus are building on that to recommend complete health solutions for women trying to have children.

May finished another study conducted in the Midwest showing two to five percent of children exposed to alcohol show signs of fetal alcohol syndrome.
