Science Daily: Breastfeeding may expose infants to toxic chemicals
summary - A widely used class of industrial chemicals linked with cancer and interference with immune function -- perfluorinated alkylate substances, or PFASs -- appears to build up in infants by 20-30 percent for each month they're breastfed, according to a new study. It is the first study to show the extent to which PFASs are transferred to babies through breast milk, and to quantify their levels over time.

So much for the highly touted EPA. The EPA should be called The Agency for the Protection of Int'l Corps. from Environmentalists. Corrupt to the core.
The thing of it is we have basically figured out amazing advancements with medicine, unfortunately the advancement of industry which is engaged in the use of these highly toxic chemicals has produced a highly carcinogenic environment. We're getting dosed with this stuff in the air, water, food, clothing, furniture, it's everywhere and so is cancer and other godawful diseases.
