For decades, scientists have observed traces of chemicals such as flame retardants and heavy metals in bad milk.
These results are of particular concern because chemicals can be transferred to infants, who are not immune to environmental risks.
According to a unanimous scientific consensus, bad milk remains the healthiest source of food for infants, despite the contaminants it can carry.

Most people are exposed daily to toxic chemicals such as BPA and phthalates. While it is common to find these pollutants in household items such as plastic bottles and food packaging, they are often present in doses so low that they pose no danger to human health.
But in recent years, scientists have drawn special attention to the toxic chemicals found in bad milk because it is consumed by infants.
Infants are particularly vulnerable to the effects of chemicals because their metabolic pathways do not allow for increased immunity to environmental hazards. They also weigh less, so their exposure could be higher.
Here are some of the common pollutants found in bad milk, which remains the healthiest food source for babies.
