American mothers have a flame retardant in breast milk
A U.S. environmental group has found that chemical flame lactating retardant much higher (potentially toxic) was found in breast milk. The study was conducted in a small group and not to determine the impact on the health of babies. These chemicals, flame retardants based on bromine-based furniture, computers, televisions, hair dryers, cars and photocopiers to be found. Obviously, they accumulate in the body for years. The report shows that fire brominated flame retardants attention, learning, memory and behavior in laboratory animals (a surprisingly low level).Much more sensitive to the toxic effects is when the brain is developing rapidly.20 mothers for the first time in the U.S. were tested. They found that the level of flammable chemicals of mothers is 75 times largerthan a recent study conducted in Europe. Many of these chemicals are banned in Europe (but not in the U.S.). Only California and Maine have taken no measures taken to restrict the use of these chemicals. Women should not stop breastfeeding because it has no established relationship between the intake of these chemicals in breast milk and in children.
