Dear Friends:
    Michel Odent makes the point that the biggest place  for babies to pick 
up loads of various contaminants is during gestation. 
    Research from Holland and other countries shows  that breastfed babies 
are still developmentally above artificially-fed babies,  even when both are 
full of pollutants.
    I wish the world's energy was put into reducing and  eliminating 
polluting activities and eliminating the use of toxic chemicals,  instead of debating 
if breastfeeding is alright. Pollution affects all of us,  young and old, and 
is the real problem.....health comes from clean air, clean  water, and clean 
soil that grows us good and pure food. 
    warmly,
