This is typical for the way formula and breasdtfeeding come in the news. Has
anyone ever seen this in the public media?  Ofcourse when whatever
contamination is found in human milk it's on all media, but formula keeps out
of the spotlights.

Now my questions are:
what does silicon do in the body when eaten?
where does the silicon in formula come from?if there is no difference between
 moms with or without implants and moms with implants and moms with it have
55ng/ml, then moms without implant will have that too. Where does this
silicone come from?

Warmly greeting,
