''Based on the concentrations in breast milk fat of PCBs, some have 
estimated that at least five percent of babies in the United States are 
exposed to sufficient levels of contaminants to cause neurological 
impairment.''  But PCBs are not the only culprit.  Many other chemicals 
act upon the thyroid system as well.
