		<description><![CDATA[Last semester during my Biochemistry class the professor kept bringing up the serious risks taken pregnant women drink alcohol. On more than one occasion she would bring up the topic and then lecture/preach about it in a very passionate fashion. It was obvious that she was trying to reach out and inform all of the young women in her class about this serious problem. This made me wonder if women really understand the dangerous side effects of drinking alcohol during pregnancy.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=midmohealth.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4927079&amp;post=846&amp;subd=midmohealth&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
