mercury in breastmilk

Like nicotine from cigarettes, alcohol,chemicals, drugs, onions and everything else that you swallow, the particles that drop off your fillings and the vapour you breathe in off these fillings, (which are 60% mercury to help bind all the other metals together in an amalgam of metals), are uptaken in your bloodstream.
Through digestion and entry to the bloodstream, mercury also comes through your breastmilk and straight into your baby-- IF you have fillings and eat mercury-laden fish like Tuna, salmon, crustacea etc.

What to do? stop the fish at least.

But its too dangerous to have the fillings removed because so much particulate is drilled out and vapourised in the dental surgery. You inhale this.
Of course, safe removal is possible but its best not to whilst breast feeding.
Have fillings out BEFORE conception and do chelation treatments to rid your body of it.

There are many pollutants in breastmilk - however breastmilk is so protective that it is nearly always advantageous to continue breastfeeding (except in cases of some medications etc)

I know you were not implying that people should stop breastfeeding, or not breastfeed to begin with, but I think worries about cigarettes and things like mercury, or even a healthy diet! do put people off from breastfeeding and it is important to remember how beneficial breastfeeding is

If I had all my fillings taken out my head would fall off.

What about the pollutions you get from the bottles used for bottlefeeding?
Btw I dont think that's an arguement for not bottlefeeding.

Can you show us the research based evidence of this?

PillockOfTheCommunity · 28/10/2007 00:22

Is that www.angelakilmartin.co.uk one? Just done a search and saw the comment 'read a lot of books and the angela kilmartin one was the worst', doesn't exactly fill you with confidence, does it?.

And your point is, Angela?

What about mothers who have become pregnant and even breastfed without knowing all this? Is there anything they can do?

Should all newborns wear paper masks to protect them from air pollution too?

Not a helpfully worded thread imo.
