Alicia Silverstone Breast Milk Bank Launched

Alicia Silverstone
“Clueless” star, Alicia Silverstone, starts a breast milk bank, a sharing project for vegan moms who cannot breast-feed.

The actress, a vocal proponent of breastfeeding, wants to make it easier for moms to share their milk with those who struggle with breastfeeding.

She writes on her blog, “because we’re a community of beautiful souls who recognize the importance of food as health, I say we help support those mommas and babies who need a hand during one of the most important times in their lives.”

But some doctors are warning this could carry risks. Breast-feeding is fantastic. It promotes excellent health for a newborn. But unscreened breast milk has a lot of concerns, such as transmission of viruses such as HIV, hepatitis, bacteria, such as syphilis.
