Mothers milk

Isofiavones have also been found in mothers milk following consumption of roasted soyabeans or if eating a traditional Chinese diet. The possibility that feeding of soy-based infant milk could be harmful has been noted by Turner and...

Humans are also at the top of food webs, and by the late 1960s citizens of several countries were horrified to learn that the levels of DDT in mothers milk ranged up to 130 ppb, which would have been classified as unfit for human consumption. 

The growing market for birch control devices is driving the demand for tetrahydrofiirane while mothers milk substitutes create the gamma-butyro-lactone demand. Not really. Just checking to see if you re reading all this. Poly butylene terephthalate is an engineering thermoplastic being used in automobile and electrical components. Other minor uses include solvents, humectant, plasticizer, and pharmaceuticals. 

Kannan et al. (2005) HHCB was found in all human fat tissue examined where 86% contained AHTN, and the former was always detected in greater concentration than AHTN possibly because HHCB is produced/manufactured and used in larger quantities than AHTN. High concentrations of HHCB also have been encountered in Lake Michigan compared to AHTN (Peck and Hombuckle, 2004), and both HHCB and AHTN have also been detected in mothers milk (Rimkus and Wolf, 1996). Musks have some antiestrogenic effects (Schreurs et al., 2004).

A German study in which 22 samples of baby milk, baby food, mothers milk and cows milk were analysed for their content of phthalates found a relatively narrow range of 50-210 mg/kg di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, with hardly any differences between the food items (Gruber et a/., 1998). 

Size exclusion chromatography coupled to an ICP-QMS with an octopole collision cell was employed for the multi-elemental speciation of essential elements (P, S, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, Br, Se and I) and Al as a toxic element in premature human milk.28 Comparison of speciation results demonstrates that premature human mothers milk differs significantly from formula milks in terms of the element binding pattern to the biomolecules. It was found that premature human milk is very rich in high molecular weight species associated with metals. The authors concluded that more attention must be paid to the chemical form in which essential elements are added to the formulas, particularly those used for the nutrition of premature babies.28... 

Results from animal studies indicate that in utero exposure to PBBs and exposure to PBBs through mothers milk can produce embryolethal effects, structural abnormalities, growth retardation, liver effects, and neurological effects in offspring. Developmental toxicity has been observed in studies with hexabromobiphenyl and octabromobiphenyl commercial mixtures, but not with commercial...

Banerjee et al. (1997) found 3.4 times higher levels of HCHs in 61 milk samples from Delhi than those from Lucknow (Siddiqui et al., 1981a). Sanghi et al. (2003) found endosulfan, malathion, chloropyrifos, methyl-parathion and HCHs in human milk samples collected from Bhopal, India. Again, with respect to the classical organochlorine pesticides in mothers milk in big cities and rural areas in the present decade, Nair et al. (1996) found 1.27 mg l-1 fat wt. of DDTs and 0.33 mg l-1 fat wt. of... 

This chapter begins at the bottom of the agricultural food chain, looking at the uptake of PCDD/Fs in plants from soil. The second section deals with the uptake in plants from the atmosphere. The attention then switches to the next link in the food chain, and the transfer from plants and soil to livestock and animal food products is examined. This is followed by a discussion of uptake in humans from food and in infants from mothers milk. The chapter concludes with a short summary, an overall perspective on bioaccumulation in the agricultural food chain, and a brief reference to some consequences of this knowledge for risk assessment. 

Secretion into milk is an important route of excretion. Children, for example, may take up more PCDDs and PCDFs than the acceptable daily intake through the mothers milk.71 Lactating female otters were the only individuals of the Dutch otter population that had PCB levels below the no-effect level for reproduction because a major part of the PCBs was excreted through the milk.

Human milk lipids are unique in that they contain predominantly palmitate at the sn-2 position. To produce an infant formula whose lipids resemble those of mothers milk, Yang et al. (84) employed Rhizomucor miehei lipase to catalyze the acidolysis of lard, which is rich in 2-palmitoyl acylglycerols, with soybean fatty acids. As the enzyme had tight specificity for reaction at the sn- and sn-3 positions of the...
