Is Your Breast Milk Toxic? Why Breastfeeding May Be Dangerous

Is Your Breast Milk Toxic?
Are You Harming Your Baby By Breast Feeding?

How many times have you heard that the best milk for a infant is breast milk?  Well let me tell you that there is some truth and at the same time this statement can be misleading.  Early breast milk is commonly known as liquid gold –It contains colostrum (coh-LOSS-trum) which is the thick yellow first breast milk that is made during pregnancy and just after birth. This milk is very rich in nutrients and antibodies to protect your baby.



A human mother's breast milk is milk designed for human babies.  We don't see calves (cows) drinking pigs milk  Nor do we see sheep drinking buffalo milk.  Cow's milk is design for cows and goats milk designed for goat i.e. the nutritional make-up for each animal comes from their prospective mothers. 

Just because humans can tolerate cow's milk or goat's milk does not mean that it is nutritional safe for our children, their immune and digestive system.  In fact, most infants and some children can not tolerate pure cow's milk in terms of handling it on their digestive systems.  Breast milk is easier to digest – For most babies — especially premature babies — breast milk is easier to digest than formula. The proteins in formula are made from cow’s milk and it takes time for babies’ stomachs to adjust to digesting them. 

Breast milk fights disease – The cells, hormones, and antibodies in breast milk protect babies from illness. This protection is unique; formula cannot match the chemical makeup of human breast milk and this is my the body of the mother must be as free from toxic chemicals, pharmaceutical drugs, pesticides, heavy metals, alcohol, growth hormones, cigarette or 2nd hand smoke, and other harmful things.

Based on the above information it is can be concluded that breast feeding has a tremendous benefit for the infant. As I previous mentioned that this statement can be misleading.  How you ask?  It should be noted that the mother passes on the toxins from her body when breast feeding onto her child.  If the mother's body is not clean or she is not living a healthy life style she will pass those toxic hormones and antibodies thru her breast milk on to her suckling child.  Here is a simple example:  If you eat garlic, your breast milk will taste garlicky.  What you eat will be pass thru your breast milk.  

You are what you eat and in the case of breast feeding so is your baby!  Now that I have your attention.  What's the solution?  The solution is very simple:
  1. Eat healthy, clean and if possible organic food. One of the major benefits of eating organic is not nutrition.  You have no way of know what nutritional values in terms of minerals were in the soil of the organic food.  You get organic because there are less chemicals supposedly in organic meat, fruits and vegetables.  Less chemical means in theory less chemicals, pesticides and toxins.
  2. Make sure you are taking the 90 ESSENTIAL nutrients.  I didn't just say nutrients.  I said 90 ESSENTIAL nutrients.  The are called ESSENTIAL nutrients because in order for the body to maintain optimum health the body NEED these nutrients AND the body does NOT make them therefore they must be put inside the body.  This means that it is imperative that you are taking in proportion to your body weight 60 minerals, 16 vitamins, 12 amino acids and 2 omega oils.  You take them not only for yourself but for health and well-being of your baby.  I will be blogging about the important of taking the 90 essential nutrients soon.  Suffice it to say you need to ensure your nutritional tank is full, especially while you're nursing.
  3. Make sure you're detoxifying the body on a DAILY basis.  Check out our blog post on "How To Detox."  Hepol is the product you can use safely to detox your body even while you're pregnant and/or breast feeding.  Hepol is non-toxic, no harmful chemicals that will neither harm you or your baby.  Hepol has Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) the body's primary anti-oxidant.  Another blog post on the critically importance of Superoxide Dismutase (SOD). Hepol is primary ingredients are, a hypo-allergenic Flower Pollen that contains over 187 micro-nutrients, botanical Glutathione and Aloe Vera.
Cancer or any other debilitating disease does not appears it's ugly head overnight.  Those diseases are an accumulation of toxic waste build-up in your body.  If you're detoxing once or twice a year you are setting yourself up for potential health threaten issues.  Here is my sound advice to you : Just like you brush your teeth or wash your face on a daily basis you need to be detoxing your body on a daily basis with a product like Hepol.  Do it for your baby and do it so that you'll be with the one your love and breastfeeding each and everyday.

  1. I don`t agree with your comments on that if you eat garlic your milk will taste like garlic. I have been breastfeeding for over 12 months and never found this to be the case....it is true that the food you get is used in making breast milk but it is filtered in a very sophisticated way. Also it is untrue to say Cancer and other debilitating illnesses could be avoided through daily detoxing, it simply isn`t factual. I am a keen detoxer but don`t exaggerate the truth.
