I was just reading an article in the current Ms. magazine about the connection
between dioxin and endometrious. (It used to be a really rare disorder and now
affects 5 million women in the US) The article mentions in passing that the
only ways to excrete dioxin from the  body is by rapid weight loss or by
breastfeeding, since it's excreted in breastmilk. (Of course it would also be
found in formula--animal products are one of the ways dioxin comes into our
bodies in the first place.) Does anyone know more about this? It sounds very
creepy to me!
TIA,
Julie
