““In traditional Oriental societies, pregnant women were carefully screened from viewing or hearing any unpleasant sights or sounds, especially those which arouse anger, fear, grief, or any other extreme emotional response, in order to prevent adrenaline, cortisone, and other hazardous biochemicals from being released and transferred to their developing foetuses via the bloodstream. This may have prevented mental, emotional, and physical abnormalities in their offspring.””
