Not long ago it was found that the Chinese added melamine to infant formula to mask the actual protein nutrients.
Melamine artificially makes milk appear to have more protein; it can cause kidney diseases such as those seen in the Chinese infants and can cause death.
The Food and Drug Administration warned consumers not to feed their infants infant formula from China because the safety and nutritional adequacy of infant formula from China was/is unknown.
Recently, infant formula from China by the name of Guan Wei Yuan was found for sale in an Asian retail market in New York.
The FDA is "suppose" to be the regulatory group that makes sure food items are safe.
A study by government researchers released Thursday tested 15 different brands of formula and found a chemical -- also found in rocket fuel -- contaminating every single one. The chemical- perchlorate.
The FDA maintains that the parts per billion of this chemical are in their eyes considered LOW and not harmful to babies.
So saddle up and take a trip to your local Shuttle Launch and sip on some Rocket fuel!
Oh but wait! The EPA has found perchlorate in the drinking water in 23 states!
To add insult to injury, when you mix infant formula contaminated with perchlorate - a rocket fuel ingredient than can interfere with infant brain development - with water that's also contaminated with perchlorate, you put rocket fuel on baby's menu. Twice.
Do you trust the FDA?
