The article title is highly misleading. It also states clearly that the same toxin was found in store milk-- i.e., cow milk, in approxiamately the same proportions. Therefore it is ubiqutiously found, not just in human milk.

Used in solid rocket fuel also in these more common items: fireworks, matches, and roadside flares. Id hazard a guess that the average Joe (or cow) has more exposure to matches than to rocket fuel.

maybe someone should put a warning label on the the woman for the baby to read before he/she starts drinking? lol
sorry...it was wide open

In California Ammonium Perchlorate (sp?) from rocket manufacture was dumped on the ground in the 50's, 60's and 70's near Sacramento, Ca. The AP leached into the American River. There was a fortune spent on environmental evaluation, testing, etc. even before remediation (over $100 million). It's a big problem.

We had a thread on this yesterday. Perchlorate is generated by the HUMAN BODY.
Now, when they find BREAST MILK in the ROCKET FUEL, then we will have something unusual to discuss.

Texas Tech University researchers studied...samples of breast milk from women... OK, I volunteer to be the research assistant.

I think it was the comedian Gallagher who asked: "where would they put the warning label?"
To: MetalHeadConservative35
Wouldn't it be interesting to know the actual levels they found, the method used and its accuracy and precision?
From there, it would be nice to know the known toxicity.
Perchlorate is a strong oxidizer and will react and decompose rapidly in most wet media.
Another case of scientific pontification without the actual science!
