I just ran across a paper on silicone transfer to breast milk from implants.
Some of you may have seen it previously.  Basically found none transferred
over normal background levels.

However, check out the cow's milk (10 times more) and formula (80 times
more).  Now those of us from cow country understand that cow's need lots of
silica, silicone, and other minerals to grow.

I posted the abstract on my web page, but the reference is :

Semple JL, et.al. Breast Milk contamination and silicone implants:
Preliminary results using silicon as a proxy measurement for silicone.
Plast Reconstr Surg 1998 Aug;102(2):528-33
