Geez, you folks in the UK got a much better presentation of this research
in the news than what I heard on my local TV health segment. The reporter
mentioned how breastmilk had been found to contain over 40 times the
recommended levels of contaminents and how some of these were suspected of
causing cancer and weakening the immune system. Duh, like doesn't formula
do the same thing, but there's no breaking news on that matter. The
reporter then adds at the end that breastmilk is still best and mums
shouldn't not breastfeed because of this. Why does that statement always
get slotted in the end?
