When comparing to nursing mothers who do not eat meat, how much more pesticide contamination do nursing mothers who eat meat have in their breast milk?
a. Twice as much
b. Thirty-five times as much
c. Ten Times as much
Answer: b. Thirty five times as much!*
To reduce pesticide contamination choose lean cuts of organic meat and low-fat organic dairy products. Or go meat free! Pesticides are stored in fatty cells, so lean and low fat will contain less.
