This is the real question, as it was originally asked...is a breastfeeding
mom's baby in any danger from this diet in general. Without getting too
excited, I think we should concentrate on that query rather than the very
personal and controversial issue of diets in general or specific diets. The
mother wants an answer, and she deserves one, unladen with a judgement on her
choice of nutrition. If there are any studies to support any of this
conjecture (about the *main* issue, nursing during high protein intake), I
hope someone will post them...I would certainly like to learn more.
