Question: Women that have one glass of wine per week have better behaved children than women that don't drink?
Study: Researchers asked 37,000 of those women about the behavior of their children, and found the kids were generally more emotionally stable and more well behaved when the moms had one glass of wine per week.
Conclusion: researchers explain that this is not an invitation for moms to start drinking, but to confirm that the mother's choices have a huge influence over their child's development.
*This study only dealt with light drinkers (drinking one glass of wine per week) and did not examine the effects of heavy drinking on the child's development. Doctors still warn that drinking excessively while pregnant can have dangerous effects for the unborn child.
