“…For example, human milk boron concentrations are under apparent homeostatic control. Concentrations of boron in milk from mothers of exclusively breast-fed healthy full-term infants in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada , and Houston, TX, USA (Hunt et al 2005) did not vary widely and were stable over the first four months of lactation (Figure 1). Mean concentrations of milk boron were similar between the test populations (Houston: 39 µg [3.61 µmol]/L; St. John's: 29 µg [2.68 µmol]/L) despite probable differences in dietary boron intake.…”
