What is breast milk contamination?

Women around the world have toxic chemicals in their body fat and, when nursing, have toxic chemicals in their breast milk. The level of toxic contaminants in many American women's breast milk is often reported to exceed the FDA's "acceptable daily intake" levels for other foods. Some women and babies are at a greater risk because of diet or environmental exposures; babies in the high Arctic are exposed to seven times more polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) than the typical infant in Canada or the United States.

Still, breast-feeding is overwhelmingly preferable to infant formula feeding, unless a breastfeeding mother has high-level occupational exposure, extreme dietary exposure, or unusual residential exposure to hazardous or toxic chemicals. Breast milk offers tremendous protective qualities and benefits that outweigh the risks of low levels of chemicals in most cases. Providing uncontaminated air, water, and food is the best choice to protect mothers and infants from unwanted chemical exposures and risks.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
