Toxic or not

Breast milk is better than formula food, even with toxins

SEVEN and a half months old Aashirya is healthy. She is less likely to fall sick or put on excessive weight as she grows up. This is because her parents are staunch believers of breastfeeding. Vineet Tyagi, her paediatrician father, and her mother, who is a dentist, decided to keep Aashirya on breast milk exclusively for the first six months. This, despite there being various studies on the presence of toxins in breast milk.
