Drinking While Pregnant May Cause Childhood Leukemia
French researchers conducted a case-control study of the link between childhood Leukemia and fetal exposure to alcohol. Alcohol use was found to be significantly associated with both lymphomic and nonlymphomic types of Leukemia. Cigarettes had no correlation, but drinking more than 4 cups of coffee per day did correlate to an increased risk of lymphomic Leukemia.
