Well, to be fair, I think the last three paragraphs are redeeming to the purpose of the study...

These demographic characteristics might help doctors spot women at risk for using meth while pregnant, Solt noted. One might think that it would be easy to identify a pregnant meth user, but the researchers found otherwise. While the stereotypical meth addict has bad teeth, a gaunt body, and skin sores, many of the meth-using women didn't fit this profile.

"We were surprised to encounter a significant proportion of the methamphetamine users that did not look like the typical user, and they were discovered through the toxicity screen," the researcher said. Because urine tests can only identify the drug within three days of use, he added, screening might have missed some women who had used meth in their pregnancy.

While meth exposure is clearly dangerous to the developing baby, the researcher added, much remains unknown about how the drug hurts the fetus, or whether meth-exposed babies will experience lasting consequences.

"We have many black holes in our knowledge about the mechanism of harm," he said.

I spray water out of my mouth from the glass I was drinking. Somewhere, a record player scratches.
