See article keywords and concepts |  Don't breastfeed your babies! Use infant formula instead. It's more "high-tech." Cow's milk is obviously healthier for your babies than mother's milk, right? That's what the doc says... Result: Tens of millions of mothers stopped breastfeeding their babies, resulting in widespread nutritional deficiencies that impacted those children for life. The pushing of infant formula onto mothers continues today in hospitals across the country which are paid by infant formula manufacturers to give free samples of infant formula to new mothers, hoping they will stop breastfeeding and start buying formula. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Infants are sometimes reared on soy infant formula. The Royal Society wrote, "Infant formulas, in particular, are "consumed as a single food over extended periods of time by those who are especially vulnerable" and "should be investigated most rigorously."20 Among the potential side effects are changes in soy's natural estrogen mimickers, which may influence sexual development.
Children consume a disproportionately large amount of milk. In the United States and elsewhere, dairy products may come from cows treated with the genetically engineered bovine growth hormone (rbGH). | | INBI writes, 'The use of infant formula has been associated with a rise in childhood autoimmune diseases. . . . There can be no justification for increasing higher concentrations of glycation reactants [AGEs] in infant formula." 102
Children also eat plenty of corn products. According to an article in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, "Processing of some ready-to-eat cereals, which includes heating at temperatures over 230°C, may explain the high AGE content of these products. |

See book keywords and concepts |  But it was the isofiavones in infant formula that gave the Jameses the most cause for concern. In 1998, investigators reported that the daily exposure of infants to isofiavones in soy infant formula is 6 to 11 times higher on a body weight basis than the dose that has hormonal effects in adults consuming soy foods. Circulating concentrations of isofiavones in infants fed soy-based formula were 13,000 to 22,000 times higher than plasma estradiol concentrations in infants on cows milk formula. ... |

See article keywords and concepts |  BPA could still be present in liquids from canned sources, however, so if you use canned infant formula and empty it into these Born Free baby bottles, it doesn't mean the bottle will filter out the BPA chemical, it just means the bottle won't contribute more bisphenol A.
Currently, 95 percent of baby bottles sold today contain bisphenol A. That means the majority of infants are being exposed to this toxic chemical through their feeding. Switching to a BPA-free baby bottle is extremely important for protecting infant health. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Several years ago, the British government discovered that nine brands of commonly used infant formula contained potentially harmful chemicals. Formula made with cow's milk is a product that has been chemically altered in a laboratory. The same applies to both soy-based and protein hydrolysate formulas. There is nothing natural about these foods. Just imagine what feeding lifeless, factory foods to human infants must do to them! How many infants are regularly seen by doctors because of various illnesses? |

Blame China? Give me a break. How about blaming the corrupt, criminally-minded FDA bureaucrats who have utterly surrendered their duties to profiteering corporations fixated solely on exploiting American consumers for maximum profits?
All this doesn't mean China's foods are any safer. They're not. But U.S. foods, drugs and personal care products are just as toxic. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Canned infant formula also had high levels. Just one to three servings of food with these BPA levels could expose a pregnant woman or infant to harmful doses of the chemical."
The Environmental Working Group is a nonprofit organization that uses the power of information to protect public health and the environment. They recently completed a study of the toxic chemical and its presence in name-brand canned goods, finding that 50% of those canned goods contained bisphenol A. To make matters worse, the FDA states about 20 percent of the U.S. diet comes from this form of food packaging. |

See article keywords and concepts |  And it's no surprise that infant formula manufacturers have, for decades, tried to convince nutritionally ignorant mothers that cow's milk is better for their baby than human breast milk. (An odd idea, isn't it?)
Thumbs up: Raw milk
Over the last two years, I've become a proponent of raw milk (especially raw fermented milk, see below). Raw goat's milk is my personal recommendation, but even raw cow's milk has merit. What's so good about raw milk? Because it's not homogenized or pasteurized, it's nutritionally superior to dead, cooked milk. |

See article keywords and concepts |  For example, there's a fantastic infant formula product based on goat's milk that's still sitting on my desk, and I'm going to do a feature on it soon. It's called Genesis Organics (www.GenesisOrganics.com) and it's a great product. I just haven't been able to pull together a big feature article on it yet. (It would be great if this company could afford to do a big product sample giveaway of some sort.)

See book keywords and concepts |  That omega-3 s play an important role in mental function has been recognized since the 1980s, when it was found that babies fed on infant formula supplemented with omega-3 s scored significantly higher on tests of both mental development and visual acuity than babies receiving formula supplemented only with omega-6.
Could it be that the problem with the Western diet is a gross deficiency in this essential nutrient? A growing number of researchers have concluded that it is, and they voice frustration that official nutritional advice has been slow to recognize the problem. | | Even more than margarine, infant formula stands as the ultimate test product of nutritionism and a fair index of its hubris.
This brings us to one of the most troubling features of nutritionism, though it is a feature certainly not troubling to all. When the emphasis is on quantifying the nutrients contained in foods (or, to be precise, the recognized nutrients in foods), any qualitative distinction between whole foods and processed foods is apt to disappear. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Breastfeed all infants for their first six months, avoiding infant formula.
Sadly, the WCRF still does not recommend that consumers use nutritional supplements to help protect themselves from cancer, indicating that the group still has a lot to learn about the role of medicinal mushrooms, sea vegetables, microalgae, Chinese herbs, rainforest herbs and superfood extracts in preventing and reversing cancer. But at least the group's recommendation that consumers now avoid all processed meat products is a huge step in the right direction. |

That leaves a whole bunch of products out there with the potential to cause harm. Buyer beware. |

The dosage for enzymes should be individualized based on the patient's diet, degree of PI, intestinal pH, and GI anatomy. In clinical practice, two approaches are used to calculate enzyme doses:
1. Based on the amount of fat in the diet, that is, units of lipase per gram of fat per meal. This method is more physiological than the weight-based method described next. Current CFF guidelines recommend 500-4000 lipase units per gram of fat per meal [70, 71]. |
