	I went to the STAR page's Tooth Fairy Project page and found this:

	"Most of the strontium in the baby teeth is transferred to the fetus by
the mother during pregnancy."

	Is this true?  Can Sr-90 cross the placenta?  (If it is  transferred "by
the mother" it would have to cross the placenta, wouldn't it?)
