Infant Formula/Bottles contain a toxic mix of deadly poisons.
Formula corporations make sure you think they know better than nature and that you are safest buying their products for your baby. They are very cunning and clever with their ad campaigns. They entice you with images that make you feel safe, secure and modern as a parent. Do you really think they care about your precious baby? NO! If it makes no CENTS for them it makes no sense. Formula companies are only interested in your money which leads to their capital gain and control! Do you even know what goes into formula? How those ingredients are made? Have you looked past the can of formula in your hand to see what is really behind it, what's really in it? Have you looked past the fuzzy, warm commercials for real solid information about infant nutrition? NO! Well of course not! You’ve been pumped full of misinformation your whole life about it! You've been duped, bamboozled, hoodwinked! Flat out lied to. Hell chances are you were probably pumped full of it as an infant yourself! Well don’t worry I did it for you. I waded through the nasty sludge of infant formula “science”. Yep thats right. I followed the yellow brick road and uncovered one horrific truth after the other! I am here to expose that nasty, toxic truth about what babies are sucking on! I am here to say NO to those bloody corporations. To tell them to STOP POISONING our infants STOP LYING TO THE PEOPLE. I am here to tell you to WAKE UP! Infants are being poisoned, all at the hands of giant corporations, heck, we are all being poisoned. Don't believe me? That's okay, its a big bite to chew, I get that, but it doesn't change the facts. My mission is to present those facts to you in hopes that you are encouraged to dig deeper, look further and make informed choices, especially when it comes to your precious baby and children. You deserve to know the truth and more importantly your children deserve the very best start you can give them. I will provide you with sources and links about infant nutrition. I will guide you along as best as I can. If you have any questions or comments please do post in the comment box, I will do my best to help you. Please, if you have info share it here in the comments section as well, I want to learn. Here is a list of some of the toxic chemicals that are present in infant formula MSG Free aspartic acid BPA Fluoride Hexane Mercury Melamine Cyanuric acid Formaldehyde Antinutrients/soy Bacteria DHA/ARA? Shocking, I know. Sicking, you bet. So why are these TC's (toxic chemicals) in infant formula? How could it be produced and sold? Why aren't FF (formula fed) babies dying? (they are and some of the "healthy" ones have symptoms of slow poisoning) Those are all very great questions and we will explore each toxic chemical in detail and even explore infant morality rates, infant nutrition through the years. A quick summery of the answers are that all these TC's (toxic chemicals) are found in individual processing of the ingredients listed on the formula tins. The solvents used to extract and produce the ingredients are laden with TC's. For instance a very widely used sweetener that is used in nearly all processed foods from ketchup, candy to infant formula is HFCS or High Fructose Corn Syrup. Anything ending in "ose" like glucose fructose or dextrose etc are all HFCS re-named. Sounds simple but it isn't, caustic soda containing mercury is used to separate the corn starch from the corn and that is how HFCS contains mercury. Therefore infant formula containing HFCS or any other "ose"contains mercury. Some Mercury poisoning symptoms include Rashes Constipation Diarrhoea Muscle weakness Lethargy Sound sensitivity Neuromuscular impairments (facial twitching, pins and needles feeling, muscle atrophy) Emotional effects include shyness, anger, mood swings etc. Insomnia Headaches tremors ringing in ears dizziness Makes you wonder why that baby with the formula bottle is really crying.

Patients have stronger reactions to MSG than arsenic or mercury. In children, however, the destruction of healthy brain tissue is not the only problem associated with glutamate. A child's brain is growing, and it is suspected that excess glutamate causes connections to be made inappropriately. Certain sensors on the neurons, called growth cones, allow the neurons to detect and grow along chemical trails in the brain, ultimately constructing the necessary pathways.

It's pretty freakin' sad that they put all this crap in the formula for infants...Seriously, I think with how advanced we are now that we should be able to make something at least a little more healthy for them... ...Or you can just go the easy route and breast feed the kid with real breast milk.

Nearly all heavy metals (mercury, gold, lead, etc.) can cause neurological damage and/or liver failure. BTW - WB Squall!

Its mostly byproducts of the production process, which means theres 0% chance of removing them. Safest bet. DON'T FORMULA FEED EVER. Evolution indicates that children throughout time have an average weaning age of 4-5 and a half with a max of about 8. Many people consider this to be gross, or obscene, where in fact its just how nature intended (The first teeth are called milk teeth for a reason). A child loses the ability to suckle when the adult molars come through and prevent the jaw movement required, which also happens to coincide with research that states this is when the immune system reaches its full strength (Both of these happen at between 5 and 8 years). A growing number of mothers are seeking to nurse for as long as possible, and reclassed it as Full Term breastfeeding, rather then extended to reclaim the natural act that it is. Under 20% of babies are still breastfed at 6 months, having been weaned onto contaminated infant formula's (the plastic in the bottle may also be contaminated with BPA, as can tap water). BPA and Mercury are known not only for Cancers, but also Neurological conditions ranging from Learning disabilities, to schitzophrenia. Quote:
NOT POSSIBLE. The child is usually allergic to a protein known as Casein which the mother ingests, Casein is a component of Bovine milk (Dairy). Goats milk formula is still prone to the production contamination, however its composition is alot friendlier to an infants developing gut and does not cause digestive system damage. Infants fed goats milk are 40% likely to become overweight in adulthood. Last edited by Squall-Leonhart; April 16th, 2009 at 21:07.. Reason: Automerged Doublepost |

No im not. I was at one point considering going into pediatrics, but decided against it. Quote:
It doesn't come naturally, and there is some skill involved. PS. Nurse on demand, thats how breasts produce milk. Schedule feeding will see her dry up within weeks and the infant will be classed as failure to thrive. Also note that there are points at 3 weeks, 3 and 6 months where a child undergoes growth spurts, they will nurse more often which naturally stimulates more milk (Demand = supply). Nursing strikes may also happen where the child doesn't want to nurse, this doesn't = self weaned, The world is just a big exciting place and distractions abound. Feed in a quiet, not so distracting place to keep the child focused) Last edited by Squall-Leonhart; April 16th, 2009 at 21:16.. Reason: Automerged Doublepost |

 Perhaps the risks of baby formula should be taught in health class in school (mandatory in certain states in America to take this class).

 ..second. We're nowhere near baby-stage yet. We don't even have insurance(****ing economy). We do intend(as I do with just about everything) to research... the universe itself before baby production ensues.

Well, squall... Can you also do a research on what the breast milk is made of? And I'm just wondering that are you sure your research is true about all infant formulas? As I'm sure you can find formulas that aren't that toxic But my view on this is: breast feeding if possible... As it can be impossible in cases where the mother died while giving birth, mother just ran away or lost her breasts(breast cancer or smt like that) and let's not forget that babies are abandoned too.

All formula's contain the ingredients listed. Either via willful addition, or byproduct of the production process. I could probably list the first 100 components of human milk, but theres still another 300+ i don't know, 200 of which science doesn't know....... btw. BPA is in any plastic bottle which is made to be shatter proof. |

Yeah, I've increasingly been made aware of all the damaging things in seemingly safe processed consumables. I cut drinking from plastic containers and drinking any pre-mixed drinks. No prepackaged foods (hand made salads now) Physically there has been a large increase of my health status since I made the move. Sleep is now consistent with no waking up during the night, I have so much concentrated mental focus. I'm generally happier now and at times almost feel high. Great Post Squall!
