Even though she grew up playing football, shooting hoops and running races against all the boys in her neighborhood, U.S. 800-meter champion Alysia Montano never wanted to be thought of as one of them.
As a result, she started wearing a flower behind her right ear to remind the boys they were getting beat by a girl.
“The flower to me means strength with femininity. I think that a lot of people say things like you run like a girl. That doesn’t mean you have to run soft or you have to run dainty. It means that you’re strong.”
Love this.

1000% Increase In Autism Since 1980, SSRIs Could Be To Blame →
According to recent research published in the British Medical Journal, the use of antidepressants during pregnancy might double the risk of autism in the child.
Stockholm researchers compared data on 4,429 cases of autism spectrum disorders, using more than 40,000 control studies. The results showed that women using any kind of antidepressant while pregnant were about twice as likely to have a child that would test on the autism spectrum.
This isn’t the first study to link antidepressants with autism spectrum disorders. The Kaiser Permanente Division of Research in Oakland, CA, also found a two-fold increased risk of autism with SSRI use while pregnant, with the most notable effects occurring after first-term usage of SSRIs.
But autism is just the half of it. Health problems linked to the use of SSRIs and other antidepressants during pregnancy include:
- Septal heart defects
- Skull malformations
- Neural tube defects
- Abdominal defects
- Spina bifida
- Persistent pulmonary hypertension in newborns (PPHN)
According to many doctors, these results are not surprising.
Serotonin is a crucial neurotransmitter. It is the first neurotransmitter expressed in the developing embryo, plays a crucial role in brain formation. SRIs and antidepressants are believed to exert their effects by blocking the reuptake of serotonin into neurons—the basic cell of the brain. For a developing baby, this blockade is occurring throughout the body (including the brain) and throughout pregnancy development.
