Well, that's a good thing. At least when they nurse after eating spicy food, the kids won't spontaneously combust.

One can certainly debate whether there's a real health risk, but the basic fact that the chemical is there is not at all surprising. Simply consider the number of huge forest fires in the NW over the past few years, and the correspondingly huge firefighting efforts. The retardant gets dropped in the mountains and washed into the watersheds, and so of course it gets into human tissues.

What's interesting, and of course will not be picked up on, is the fact that the envirowackos are probably most to blame for this: their "lawsuit to prevent logging" strategy is directly responsible for the fuel buildup that led to the largest fires, and thus to the contamination noted.

The law of unintended consequences is a powerful and fascinating thing.

Interesting.

IIRC, the remote viewer Dr. Doom (Major Ed Dames) predicted that something like this was going to occur.

Apparently he's not always wrong.

Oh for the love of . . .!! Well, look at it this way. You won't have to worry about spontaneous combustion...

Look at the upside -- Oregon babies will have much lower rates of spontaneous combustion.

**Overall, they had levels of PBDEs 20 to 40 times higher than levels found in women from Europe and Japan.**

Hmmm.

As the father of a son who was recently born and breast fed in Oregon, I find this article somewhat more worrying than the other posters on this thread.
