Are there any medcal proffessionals or scientists able to answer this question (without starting any kind or argument cos thats not my point here) ??
I am wondering about the amount of toxins passed through the milk as a result of current poor diet.
pesticides, additives, cleaning fluid residues and general metabolic wastes that cannot be removed by sluggish digestive systems and overloaded lymphatic systems are stored in our fat. our bodies use our fat to make milk so are we passing a load of nasties to our babies?
Has any studies been done on this? Our breast tissue contains a lot of lymphatic vessels which carry waste. does this get into the milk?
Years ago there weren't loads of chemicals in our environment and the majority of people were too poor to over eat and become over weight or obese so they didn't have fat cells full of 'rubbish'.
I would love to hear a proffessional opinion on this.
