Ok I've just read in Remo Largo's book 'Baby Years' that studies have shown that breastmilk contains a very high concentration of pesticides. He explains that we all store the pesticides we take in via our food in our body fat and breastmilk utilises our body fat and thus the therein contained pesticides gets into the milk.
Dr Remo Largo is a very well respected paediatrician in Switzerland and his book is read by most pregnant women in the country. He's very pro breastfeeding but does honestly discuss all the pros and cons of breastfeeding.
So, have you ever heard of this before? Why does noone tell us about that.
