PFAS in Breast Milk Declines in Netherlands | Amsterdam News

Every drop of Dutch breast milk tested contained PFAS — those notorious “forever chemicals” — but reassuringly, 82% were below safety thresholds for babies. Compared to 2014 data, levels have actually declined, likely thanks to stricter European regulations. While PFAS can weaken immune responses, Dutch health experts say it doesn’t automatically mean babies will get sick — genes, diet, and environment all matter. Still, the nation’s food center stands firm: breastfeeding remains the best choice for at least the first six months, as breast milk delivers vital antibodies and immune cells. The takeaway? Risks are real, but the benefits still outweigh them — and the fight to reduce PFAS continues.
