Answer by Dr. Ru: About Voronit C usage in lactation

Fungicide used to treat fungal affected cereals. Also produced by garbage dump burning. It is a persistent organic pollutant (POP). Very toxic product after accidentally occuring contamination. It is not necessary to let breast milk be tested except after extraordinary exposure. Benefits of breastfeeding are largely more important than risk related to the presence of mild level environment pollutants in human milk, in many instances, they are at lower content than those found in cow’s milk or other foods.
