I remember last year Channel 4 in the UK did a show about toxins in cosmetics etc. and they tested two women's breastmilk. It was disturbing to see how they presented their findings, one of the women said something along the lines of "Oh I thought I was doing the best for my baby, maybe I should have used formula". They gave no info on the comparative toxin levels in formula or indeed the benefits of breastfeeding, just told them their milk was full of toxins! Tabloid journalism at its best! I have tried to keep a similar lifestyle while breastfeeding as I did while pregnant, vegan, very little household cleaners (and natural ones when we do use them), very few cosmetics and no nail varnish (mostly concerned with the toxic removers!) or hair dye (funny to finally see my real hair colour return!). Must go and have a look at that MOMS site, sounds really interesting. Thanks for all the info!

Thanks for posting this, I had never heard of these studies before. It's really sad actually. I too will check out the MOMS thing. Wow fascinating.

Knowledge is power and I'm -ever so slowly- working towards lowering the chemicals we are exposed to etc. Great time for the give away. :) It’s pretty disgusting to know all that we are exposed to and our children are exposed to just for living here.
