Is Depression During Pregnancy Linked To Later Teenage Aggression?

Tori Kropp RN | Feb 12, 2010 | 0 | Posted in My Blog

A new, British study [ http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35257279/ns/health-pregnancy/ ] was recently released that showed a possible link between a woman's depression during pregnancy and later teenage aggression in her children. Although it is vitally important to continually research the subject of pre and postnatal depression [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JOm9NMFOXI ], I am critical of this particular study.

The FDA has released the results of recent tests which indicate that almost all vitamins produced for consumption by women and children contain trace amounts of lead.

Although the FDA is not taking a position on whether the levels of lead in these vitamins poses a health hazard, leaders on the issue in public policy have consistently told consumers that there is "no known safe level of lead exposure," particularly when the CPSC has ordering mass recalls of children's jewelry in recent years.

Below are shortlists of the children's vitamins containing the highest and lowest amounts of lead.
