Is Baby Food Good for Babies?

At-a-glance

  • Initially uncovered by Consumer Reports, a national survey revealed many baby foods were contaminated with arsenic, lead, cadmium and mercury.
  • Children eat 3X more food per pound than adults.
  • Arsenic accumulates in the brain, in particular the hormone-producing pituitary gland.
  • It’s associated with lower IQ, mood disorders and is a carcinogen and teratogen (substances that disturb the developing fetus).
  • Rice is a main culprit; it absorbs and concentrates arsenic from soil and water.  Many rice fields in the  southeastern US were old cotton fields where arsenic-containing pesticides were sprayed.
  • Other heavy metals such as lead, nickel and chromium were found to be contaminated in glyphosate-based herbicides.
  • This is a strong argument for organic-only when feeding babies and diversifying baby foods away from rice-based foods to include other grains.

We are fighting for not only our individual sovereignty, but countries' autonomy against bullying and mandates be dominated by Big Ag.

Support Mexico to say NO.

IT'S HAPPENING

Britain is REFUSING to sign the WHO pandemic treaty.

Saying that the treaty in its current form undermines national sovereignty.

This is MASSIVE news for freedom.

Who will be next to reject tyranny?

However, the reason they are against the treaty is because

Given the critical importance of ensuring the safety of baby food, the involvement of citizen scientists in testing for toxic metals cannot be overstated. Baby food, a primary nutritional source for infants, must be free from contaminants that could impair their health and development. Recent investigations have revealed concerning levels of toxic metals like arsenic, lead, cadmium, aluminum, and mercury in various baby food products. These findings underscore the need for vigilant monitoring.

Small Interfering RNA (siRNA)

As a children’s specialist, I want to caution parents regarding the emerging use of small interfering RNA (siRNA) technology, particularly in therapeutic contexts potentially applicable to infants and young children. This technology, which manipulates RNA to silence specific genes, is still in its infancy and carries significant unknowns. Early research indicates that siRNA can unintentionally impact off-target genes, leading to unpredictable biological outcomes.

GMOScience will be sharing with you our latest series on milks, from infant formulas to synthetic breast milk, genetically engineered milks, and raw milk.

Why REAL Milk?

An internet search will reveal endless research and blogs on the pros and cons of the wide-range of available milks. Why has the milk market exploded? Why are there so many plant-based milks? Do we really need 50 infant formulas to choose from? The milk market is saturated with information and for parents, what was once a simple staple in every child’s diet has become a dietary conundrum.
