[Guest guest]

Perchlorate binds to the iodine sites, which accelerates the hypothyroid

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) - A toxic chemical used in rocket fuel was found

in virtually every sample taken in a new study of nursing mothers'

milk, but researchers said it is too early to know whether the

perchlorate levels are dangerous.

The multistate study by Texas Tech University researchers, published

this week, found that perchlorate levels in breast milk samples were

on average five times higher than those detected in dairy milk

pulled from grocery stores.

Perchlorate has been linked to thyroid ailments, and is considered

particularly dangerous to children....

No, I don't think it's an anti-breast feeding. I think it's more of a

statement of look at how we have screwed up our water supply. Remember

headlines are there to sell the paper. I thought the same at first but

when I read the whole article it came across as a statement about the water

supply.
