Cancer causing chemical found in jars of baby food
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
The best baby food in the world is human breast milk. Everything else just doesn't compare, and manufactured baby food is extremely unhealthy. The ingredients used by baby food manufacturers are horrific: cow's milk, high-fructose corn syrup, artificial colors, and all sorts of other metabolic disruptors. Now we're learning that cancer causing chemicals are also showing up in baby food. What's next... MSG for babies?
The European Food Safety Authority
found traces of a weak cancer causing chemical in some jars of food,
including baby food.
"Experts believe it would be prudent to reduce the presence of
semicarbide in baby foods as swiftly as technological progress allows,"
the EFSA said in a statement.
EFSA said it found the the chemical, semicarbazide, known as SEM, in
very small quantities in food sold in glass jars with metal lids,
containing sealant gaskets.
"The foods that have been reported to contain SEM include baby foods,
fruit juices, jams and conserves, honey, ketchups and mayonnaise,
pickles and sterilized vegetables and sauces," the EFSA report said.
