Sample Letter to the Editor

STLtoday - News - Editorial / Commentary: "The members of the Midwest Regional Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Training Center were shocked by 'Some say it's OK to drink when pregnant' (Nov. 29), which implied that it is safe for pregnant women to drink small amounts of alcohol. The article contained little credible research and tried to obfuscate the issue by claiming that the research was confusing and controversial. The article relied on the voices of women and obstetricians who are not in the vanguard of American medicine. In fact, numerous studies document the deleterious effects of alcohol during pregnancy.
