It would be nice to know how breast-milk PCB levels in the experiment compare to breast-milk PCB levels in human moms. Otherwise I think fears of breast feeding might be a a bit premature. However, based on the experiment, I think it's safe to say that pregnant and nursing moms shouldn't be snacking on PCBs. “In the primary experiment, one set of adult rats was exposed to the toxicant in their food during pregnancy and during the first three weeks after giving birth, when they nursed their pups.”

THey come up with new stuff every day. DOn't eat eggs, eat eggs, grilling meat is good for you now its bad. Now attacking breastfeeding. I once read or saw it on tv can't remember which but they said there is more toxins in breast milk than in formula because of the food that the mother eat have toxins and its passed through the milk. Wish they would send out testing kits so we all find out whats in our milk before we feed it to our babies for the next yr and half. thanks for the Read Eeek Gads.

If they are that pervasive then surely that's the next thing to test. The obvious question to ask is: are there PCBs in cows milk or soy?
