[ID] 1252 [Interest Areas] Researcher [Comment] The recent concern about chemicals (e.g. BPA) in plastic milk bottles could be an opportunity to encourage parents to nurse their infant from a more natural source. However, there is limited information about the content or toxicity of the BPA (and other environmental estrogen) in the breast milk from many regions of the world (ncluding the US). Studies of both the contest of these lipophilic contaminants in the lipid-rich breast milk may allay the concerns before they emerge widely or show that women with high levels of contamination should limit the term of their breast feeding. More scientific information is needed here. [Topic]
