The reason birth order is a predictor of pollutant levels in the bodies of children is that women can pass along as much as half of their PCB burden to their fetus during pregnancy.
The Wrong Way to Detox
Doctor's Note
Some of my other videos on breastfeeding include Cow’s Milk-Induced Infant Apnea; American Vegans Placing Babies At Risk; and Antioxidant Power of Plant Foods Versus Animal Foods. If you can’t breastfeed, what’s the best infant formula? See The Best Baby Formula. Unfortunately, even before your baby is born, our diets may be exposing them to pollutants. See CDC Report on Environmental Chemical Exposure; DDT in Umbilical Cord Blood; and Food Sources of Perfluorochemicals. Eating a more plant-based diet will help reduce exposure, and the resulting DNA damage; see Plants vs. Pesticides; DNA Protection From Broccoli; and The Best Detox.
For further context, check out my associated blog posts: Protecting Our Babies From Pollutants; Apple Peels Turn On Anticancer Genes; and Head Shrinking from Grilling Meat.
