Thanks for raising this issue. It is my understanding that a) we know that
the hormone gets into the milk and b) long-term studies have not been done.
 Instead, babies whose mothers were using said product were observed with no
ill effects.

Frankly, I find this very troubling.  How can we know what effect this might
have later, when puberty begins, for instance.

If my information is accurate, it seems that we learned little from DES.
 Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Nancy
