Guest guest Posted November 18, 2001 Report Share Posted November 18, 2001 " Thousands of babies are being fed high levels of deadly poisons in breast milk, a Government report revealed yesterday. it found that it is particularly high in dioxins which can cause cancer, hormone and skin problems and heart disease.'' They have known this for a long time,and it is one of the reasons that they think breast feeding can protect women against breast cancer. i.e. when you breast feed you reduce your own dioxin load. Cows also concentrate dioxins in their milk but because we are further up the food chain,we absorb all the dioxins of the animals we eat and from dairy products-scary isn't it. I knew all this before I made the decision to breast feed,and still went ahead, because I felt the benefits outweighed the risks.Hope I was right!
