I think the point of the article is to eliminate as many toxins from our lives as possible. Toxins are everywhere. Our laundry detergent, fabric softeners, dryer sheets, hair shampoos and conditioners, make up, moisturizers, deodorant, shaving cream, nail polish, nail polish remover etc (the list goes on and on) all contain known carcinogens and toxic chemicals. Go to health food stores and buy non toxic replacements for everything. Don’t drink out of plastic etc. I found a good site that sells some totally non toxic products at the lowest prices anywhere. http://www.greenvirginproducts.com

If it’s in the environment, no doubt it will be in our bodies, or in the cows. I can’t imagine many doctors are rethinking whether to recommend breastfeeding!

This is absurd! I believed our bodies have toxin filtering abilities, and at the same time, provide important nutrients that you can only get from breast milk.

I would be very interested to know who is testing cow’s milk to “know” that it is less contaminated than human milk. Also, there are the issues of cows being given antibiotics, growth hormones, and who knows what else…

I’m with Amy. I’ll trust the toxins in my body over the ones that might be in formula any day.

It’s kind of sad to think that people feel that presenting toxins as a child health issue rather than as a women’s health issue might work better. I always hate it when people value one over the other. If it’s in the mother’s body it’s bad for both of them, right?

I’m AMAZED that the formula companies are able to go to UN-polluted worlds to harvest milk (from alien cows? alien humanoids?) to put into their dioxin-free infant formula. Go science!

Oh wait, POLITICAL science isn’t actual science. Nevermind.

Seriously, if it’s in us, it’s in the cows. And having seen what feed lots look like (watch Food Inc.) I’ll take my chances with my own diet and toxin exposure, rather than risk getting my infant’s only food source from some anonymous cow (actually, thousands of cows) on a filthy feedlot who has been pumped full of antibiotics and God knows what else to prevent disease.

I’d love to know who is funding this woman’s “research.”
