Harmful substances in breast milk may affect resistance in babies

In all breast milk samples tested, PFAS substances have been found. This is reported by MSN following recent findings. In some cases, the measured values exceed the established risk threshold.

PFAS, a group of synthetic chemicals found in water-repellent materials and non-stick coatings, among others, remains in the environment and the body for a long time. According to the source, these substances may potentially influence the immune system of infants.

It is still unclear what the exact consequences of this exposure are for the health of babies. The source emphasizes that further research is needed to better understand the effects.

Breast milk is still considered the best food for newborns, despite the presence of these contaminants. The general recommendations for breastfeeding remain unchanged according to the source.
