I think we need to be careful when speaking of "cow's milk" vs "cow's milk
formula" in terms of toxins.  I understood that most of the animal fat was
removed from the cow's milk (thus the toxins, which are usually fat-bound)
when it was used to create formula - then a vegetable oil is added.  Each
company has their own secret way, but that was my understanding.  This
would explain the low levels of toxins as they would identify fats low in
toxins to make the formula.  >>

indeed. they add mais oil, or soya oil or other oils. In earlier days it also was peanut
oil.

But this is nto the main reason for lower levels of the toxins in formula. cow's milk also
has much lower levels of toxins. This is because humans are at the end of the food chain. We
eat fish, meat and dairy products, and store the toxins that are in these. After a long life
exposure the toxins levels are prettty high. If tested, meat from human bodies would
considered too much poisoned to consume.
