Frank Sinatra, famous for his heavy drinking, once said: Alcohol may be man s worst enemy, but The Bible says: Love your enemy.
And that neatly encapsulates our love-hate relationship with booze. We know the dangers of heavy drinking, but most of us still get a lot of pleasure from a tipple.
Despite the pressures of lockdown, the average amount of booze being consumed in the UK hasn t changed that much, but where we are drinking, what we are drinking, and who is doing the drinking certainly has.
Surveys suggest that while a third of us have cut back, another third (mainly men and women in their 50s, who were already fairly heavy drinkers) have drunk more over the past year.
There is nothing intrinsically wrong with Black women that causes their maternal health to fare worse than other racial groups the problem is systemic racism within the healthcare system, U.S. Rep. Lauren Underwood (D-Ill.) said in a Wednesday discussion.
The panel, which was focused on Black maternal health disparities, was hosted by the Center for Health Equity Transformation and the DuSable Museum of African American History. The event, in collaboration with the Congressional Caucus on Black Women and Girls, was the second part of CHET’s Black Maternal Health Crisis Series.
Candace Moore, chief equity officer for the City of Chicago, moderated the discussion, and Cassandra Osei, CHET’s clinical research project manager, led the question and answer session.

Clinical studies have not found the COVID-19 vaccine to affect fertility or the health of the newborns, according to a University release.
With the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s recent authorization of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for 12- to 15-year olds, researchers hope the findings will help reduce vaccine hesitancy, and combat vaccine myths spreading among parents, the release said.
Only 50 percent of parents have said they will vaccinate their newly eligible children, Feinberg Prof. Robert Murphy said in the release. This vaccination rate will likely increase as parents realize the benefits of vaccination with their children returning to in-person school, Murphy added.
New study shows that COVID-19 vaccines are safe in pregnancy
A new Northwestern Medicine study of placentas from patients who received the COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy found no evidence of injury, adding to the growing literature that COVID-19 vaccines are safe in pregnancy.
The placenta is like the black box in an airplane. If something goes wrong with a pregnancy, we usually see changes in the placenta that can help us figure out what happened. From what we can tell, the COVID vaccine does not damage the placenta.
