====Breast implant toxicity==== Digestive tract contamination and systemic toxicity due to the leakage of breast implant filler to the breast milk are the principal infant health concerns with breast implants. Breast implant fillers are biologically inert: [[silicone]] filler is [[Digestion|indigestible]] and saline filler is mostly salt and water. Each of these substances should be chemically inert and present in the environment.{{citation needed|date=February 2020}}<!--sources must somehow make the doubtful case that silicones are ubiquitous in modern life--> Moreover, "proponent" physicians have stated that there "should be no absolute contraindication to breast-feeding by women with silicone breast implants."<ref>{{cite journal|author=Berlin, C.
