Scientists Discover Pesticide Traces in Breast Milk

Breast milk: nature’s original superfood, now with a surprise side of “extra ingredients”! Scientists at McGill just played detective with 594 mom samples and found traces of pesticides, plastic additives, antimicrobials from soaps, and even an HIV drug breakdown product chilling in there like uninvited party guests. Don’t panic though—the levels are low, breastfeeding is still the GOAT for baby nutrition, and researchers are basically saying, “Hey world, maybe clean up your chemical act a bit?” It’s like finding out your organic kale smoothie has a whisper of lawn fertilizer—annoying, but you’re probably still better off drinking it than the alternative.
