VIDEO BELOW: Silicone can get into breast milk in women who have breast implants but it is far less than formula

Yes it is true that Silicone can get into breast milk in women who have breast implants but it is far less than formula by well over a hundred fold!!!! I am attaching a VIDEO I have prepared discussing this. Furthermore, I wrote a rebuttal pulbished in JAMA to such an article claiming disease in children which was junk science. see video

Breast implants and breast feeding

I have never heard of the silicone getting into the breast milk, but if you have a ruptured implant, I would think that you would have this exchanged first.
