Last Friday, we blogged about our latest article on licorice consumption during pregnancy and its potential risks for fetal development, published in the American Journal of Epidemiology.
During the weekend, the study has drawn quite a bit of media attention. The Academy of Finland, the Finnish National Institute for Health and Welfare, and the University of Helsinki released news of the findings. Finnish newspapers and other media, including Iltalehti, Aamulehti, Yle Svenska, Turun Sanomat and Lännen Media, Länsi-Suomi, Aamuset, Keskisuomalainen, Ilkka, Kaleva, Lääkärilehti, Mediuutiset, Apteekkari, Talouselämä, Auran aallot, Uusi Suomi, Vantaan Sanomat, Helsingin Uutiset, Sipoon Sanomat, and Seinäjoen Sanomat featured the story. Internationally, Science Daily, Huffington Post, Medical Daily, WCNC, MSN and Hindustan Times reported on the findings. What a pleasure to see the word gets out!
