More Than 200 Chemicals in Newborn Umbilical Cord Blood

Linda’s comments: Chemicals in newborns….sounds very scary and disgusting, but a mom carrying an unborn baby is dumping all her poisons and toxins into the baby. So, if you are wearing perfumes, body lotions, etc., etc., etc. and eating bad foods, then your unborn child will be the recipient of all that garbage. Pretty sickening isn’t it??
Tests Find More Than 200 Chemicals in Newborn Umbilical Cord Blood
Study commissioned by environmental group finds high levels of chemicals in U.S. minority infants
By Sara GoodmanU.S. minority infants are born carrying hundreds of chemicals in their bodies, according to a report released today by an environmental group.
The Environmental Working Group’s study commissioned five laboratories to examine the umbilical cord blood of 10 babies of African-American, Hispanic and Asian heritage and found more than 200 chemicals in each newborn.
“We know the developing fetus is one of the most vulnerable populations, if not the most vulnerable, to environmental exposure,” said Anila Jacobs, EWG senior scientist. “Their organ systems aren’t mature and their detox methods are not in place, so cord blood gives us a good picture of exposure during this most vulnerable time of life.”
