Pregnant women who take Xanax and Valium are at least 40 percent MORE likely to miscarry, new research suggests

Popular anti-anxiety medication could be putting more than 1 million pregnant women at risk of miscarriage, a new study suggests.

Researchers from Taiwan studied more than 3 million pregnancies in 2 million women and found 4.4 percent - or 136,130 - resulted in miscarriages.

They analyzed the medical history of all the women studied, and found those prescribed a class of drug called benzodiazepines - used to treat anxiety, depression and insomnia - were, on average, 70 percent more likely to miscarry compared to those who didn't take the pills.

Benzodiazepines, also called benzos, are a group of sedative drugs. The most well known medications include Xanax, Valium, Ativan and Klonopin.

Supporters call it a moral stand that uses trade leverage instead of missiles; critics say it’s political theater that hurts Turkish exporters, strains NATO unity, and just pushes traffic to Greek, Cypriot, and Italian ports while Israel reroutes at higher cost. In practice, flags of convenience, third-country transshipme...

  CENSORED: Keir Starmers Emails About Israeli War Crimes Case. Labour leader Keir Starmer likes to talk about his time as Director of Public Prosecutions when courting votes. But some cases are still shrouded in secrecy. Especially when he blocked the arrest of former Israeli foreign minister Tzipi Livni despite her role in the 2009 assault on Gaza, Operation Cast Lead, which the UN said deliberately targeted civilians. Declassified UK’s John McEvoy has been trying to obtain Starmer’s emails from this controversial period.
