Sandra, so interesting, thank you for simplifying the facts and presenting
the issues so clearly.

you wrote;<< Far less dioxin crosses the placenta than is lactated out
through the breasts because blood has less fat in it than milk on a
per volume basis.  So, from the point of view of the mother, her body
burden drops faster during lactation than during pregnancy.>>

so, to lower the dioxin levels in tissues and decrease that first baby's
breastmilk-conveyed dioxin dose, ........pre-pregnancy induced lactation
would be an effective method? time-consuming, difficult, maybe not very much
milk produced for the effort. maybe the liposuction would be easier and
quicker, but not without risk and also expense. just wondering if we could
make a good case for insurance to pay for the liposuction :-)
