Taking two drinks per month during pregnancy, can reduce the IQ of your baby

It has been well established the heavy drinking during pregnancy causes problems for the fetus in pregnant women, but now after studying 500 newborns at the University Hospital in Erlangen Germany, they studied the excretion of a particular chemical Ethyl Glucuroinoide and found higher levels of this chemical in women who drank two drinks of alcohol per month. They followed these babies to the age of 6 and found that these babies has a lower IQ than normal babies by 4 points. Suggestions that even less drinking can also cause the problem and more, obviously would be a major problem for the children.
