There are probably substances in milk that will pass into the milk, but

" directly into milk " ? That would mean that the milk would have to go directly

into the Mom's blood, which would probably kill the mother first. Milk glands

are basically oversize sweat glands and pull stuff out of the bloodstream, so

anything that goes into the blood can maybe get into the milk.

Proteins like casein aren't *supposed* to get into the blood but sometimes they

do, if the person has " leaky gut syndrome " . On the celiac list a number of Mom's

reported problems with gluten intolerance in their babies, from breast milk

while the Mom was ingesting gluten (which, like casein, isn't supposed to get

into the blood). If a baby isn't exposed to gluten, then theoretically it can't

develop an intolerance for it, so breastfed babies are supposed to be safe (but

aren't). I'd imagine the same issues can apply to milk (cow or soy).

I drank raw cows milk when I was pregnant and nursing all four of my children

and they did fine. In fact one I had to hold off of cows milk until she was 16

months old because she was having problems with it at a year, but she did fine

on breast milk...

I found the following at http://www.mercola.com/2002/jun/8/soy.htm. Does

anyone know if it's true?
