I find Dr. Steingraber's info fascinating -- it just leads to more and more and more questions. For instance, if a woman's first pregnancy ends in a loss (either a miscarriage or an abortion, say) does that mean she 'dumps' a lot of her acquired toxins up to that point in that fetus? I can just imagine a science fiction scenario in which women get pregnant, carry the pregnancy almost to term, and then abort -- to "cleanse" their body of toxins, so they can then go on to produce 'healthy' babies. Gross/bizarre idea -- I am *not* advocating this! Just thinking through the various possibilities to their conclusions. Is there any easy way to avoid PCB, dioxin contamination other than becoming an organic vegan?? What about non-dietary contamination -- how much comes from non-dietary sources?
