Gonneke, Thank you for understanding my concerns with this. I appreciate
knowing that it is not just paranoia on my behalf!

LLLI has a protocol for when researchers would like an LLL member to submit
samples. I'm working on that now.

Chris, thank you for all of your information! Isn't it interesting that this
topic was recently discussed here, but it didn't seem to apply to C8. Then,
you start thinking about the global impact of any environmental toxin, and
it does apply. I've been in contact with the researcher, passing along the
HMHBWA (which is now WithinReach) website addy and information. If I cannot
get her milk samples immediately, or at all, I can at least make her aware
of the responsibility of cleaning up the environment, rather than scaring
the mothers!

Best wishes,
Heather "Sam" Doak

Dear friends,

  I would not be willing to cooperate in a research project like this.
Information on this stuff in human milk will, one way or another find itself
a way to the ''better not nurse to be sure'' camp.
  I think it would be way better to research the presence in blood of a wide
sample of people in different stages of life, including newborns (take cord
blood to test). Then test egg, meat and milk farm-animals. Human milk won't
be that interesting after all of that, I guess.

  Warmly greeting,

  Gonneke, IBCLC, LLLL, MOM, grandma2B in southern Netherlands
