and as far as I can see, it doesn't say 'alcohol concentrates in
breastmilk' - in fact, it says the very opposite:
'Because alcohol elimination follows zero-order kinetics, drinking
water, resting, or "pumping and dumping" breast milk will not
accelerate elimination.12 Unlike urine, which stores substances in
the bladder, alcohol is not trapped in breast milk, but is constantly
removed as it diffuses back into the bloodstream'
In fact, I have used this very paper when sharing information and
writing about this issue, to explain to women what happens when they
drink, and then metabolise, alcohol.
If something 'diffuses back into the bloodstream', it is certainly
not concentrating!
Or have I got this wrong?
