Racism and socioeconomic stress may alter pregnancy biology, leaving black women nearly three times more likely to die. Really!

Unfortunately, the University of Cambridge also engages in racist propaganda and demagoguery! Very regrettable!

Comparing black and white skinned women is not science, but quackery and junk science!

It is very well known that when you honestly compare women of similar socioeconomic circumstances, backgrounds, family history etc. any differences in health outcomes between black and white women are greatly diminished.

"Black women and their babies face significantly higher health risks during pregnancy and childbirth than white women. Black women in the UK are 2.7 times more likely to die during pregnancy compared with white women, and black babies are more than twice as likely to die before their first birthday as white babies."

Racism and socioeconomic stress may alter pregnancy biology, leaving black women nearly three times more likely to die | University of Cambridge "A University of Cambridge study has found that stresses such as systemic racism and socioeconomic disadvantage may sensitise key processes in the body during pregnancy, helping to explain why black women and their babies face significantly higher rates of complication than white women."
