Scientifically proven — mother’s milk can’t accumulate
pesticides
A study by Washington State
University has not found any traces of glyphosate – a widely used herbicide
constituent – in mothers’ breast milk samples. The study negates the
findings of an earlier study by the advocacy group Moms Across America, which
claimed that traces of glyphosate were found in breast milk and caused much
public concern last year.
‘The Moms Across America study flat out got it
wrong,’ said McGuire, spokesperson of the American Society for
Nutrition. ‘Our study provides strong evidence that glyphosate is not in
human milk. The MAA findings are unverified, not consistent with published
safety data and are based off an assay designed to test for glyphosate in
water, not breast milk,’ she said.
A large body of scientific evidence shows
breast-feeding offers unparalleled nutritional and immunological benefits to both
mothers and children. The Moms Across America and Sustainable Pulse study
claimed that traces of glyphosate were found in three out of 10 breast milk
samples submitted for analysis.
The findings garnered national media attention and
quickly led to a good deal of public concern about the safety of
glyphosate. The WSU study detected neither glyphosate nor any glyphosate
metabolites in any milk sample, even when the mother had detectable amounts of
glyphosate in her urine.
‘Our data, obtained using sophisticated methods of
analyses suggest that glyphosate does not bioaccumulate and is not present in
human milk even when the mother has detectable glyphosate in her urine,’
McGuire said.
