Just wanted to let you all know that on Sunday the New York Times magazine is running a first person story called "Toxic Breast Milk?". The author is a woman who writes frequently for Outside magazine, especially on environmental topics. She continues to breastfeed her almost 1-year-old, and does say in the story that breastmilk seems to have a protective factor against the learning problems that may be caused by the toxins. Although she kind of skips by toxins and problems with formula, she does not damn breastmilk at all, and does say it is still the healthiest way to feed a baby. I do not know if this will be on the internet, but can find out. If you are in the sun, and warm, enjoy!
