Human Exposure to Halogenated Aromatic Compounds

使用关于母乳中杀虫剂、多氯联苯和其他工业化学品的出现及其致癌效力的数据，以及来自英国的关于母乳喂养和出生后死亡之间关系的数据，我们以前表明，即使长期食用高污染的母乳，患癌症的风险也相对较低，与母乳喂养相关的死亡率下降相当。我们曾希望找到美国关于母乳喂养和死亡率的数据，今年在CDC找到了一个合适的数据集。对这些数据的分析表明，即使在美国，母乳喂养的婴儿一个月到一岁的死亡率也是奶瓶喂养婴儿的80%左右。这种保护覆盖了常见的死因，对黑人和白人婴儿也是如此。孩子们用母乳喂养。

Using data on the occurrence of pesticides, PCBs, and other industrial chemicals in human milk, their carcinogenic potency, and data from the UK on the relation between breastfeeding and post-natal death, we showed previously that the risk of cancer from even prolonged consumption of highly contaminated breast milk was relatively low, and comparable to the decrease in mortality associated with breastfeeding. We had hoped to find US data on breastfeeding and mortality, and this year found a suitable data set at CDC. Analysis of those data showed that, even in the US, breast-fed babies have about 80% of the mortality of bottle fed babies from one month to one year. The protection extends across the common causes of death and is the same in black and white babies. children breastfed.
