Just one glass of wine a week during pregnancy has been linked to permanent changes in a child's facial features – and possibly their cognitive abilities too.
Dutch researchers studied 200 traits in the faces of more than 5,600 school-aged children using 3D imaging and a deep learning algorithm. They found differences between the facial features of the children whose mothers drank alcohol during pregnancy and those that had not.
Prenatal alcohol exposure was associated with chins that protruded further, when compared to children from mothers who didn't drink at all during pregnancy. The more alcohol the mothers consumed during gestation, the more prominent the facial changes appeared.
