I find Dr. Steingraber's info fascinating -- it just leads to more and more
and more questions.

For instance, if a woman's first pregnancy ends in a loss (either a
miscarriage or an abortion, say) does that mean she 'dumps' a lot of her
acquired toxins up to that point in that fetus?

I can just imagine a science fiction scenario in which women get pregnant,
carry the pregnancy almost to term, and then abort -- to "cleanse" their
body of toxins, so they can then go on to produce 'healthy' babies.
Gross/bizarre idea -- I am *not* advocating this!  Just thinking through the
various possibilities to their conclusions.

Is there any easy way to avoid PCB, dioxin contamination other than becoming
an organic vegan??  What about non-dietary contamination -- how much comes
from non-dietary sources?
