Genetically modified cows produce ‘Human milk’

Babies beware! GMOs are in baby formula and other foods sold in the United States. A Federal Drug Administration fact sheet confirmed Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) ingredients, either soy or milk from cows injected with GMO hormones in baby formula. Some also contain corn syrup with GMOs. Cereals can contain ingredients like GE (Genetically Engineered) soy lecithin.

European countries are now labeling GMOs in all foods that use Round up Ready-GMO soy and corn ingredients, and milk from cows that have been injected with rbST Growth Hormone.

The Potential Dangers of Infant Formula

“Bottle fed babies could be undernourished if given genetically modified infant formula milk because of inadequate regulations and testing regimes for GE foods.”

-The Royal Society Group on Genetically Modified Food

The use of GMOs is of particular concern for infants and young children. Many authorities are concerned because GMOs in baby foods are not adequately tested for safety and should not be used in baby foods as artificially fed infants are dependent on formula as their sole source of food for month on end.
According to Vyvyan Howard, a toxilogical pathologist at the Liverpool University Hospital: “Swapping genes between organisms can produce unknown toxic effects and allergies that are most likely to effect children.”

In the United States, foods for infants and young children containing GMO do not require labeling or testing. As a result, concerned parents can’t avoid feeding GE food to their children.

There are safety concerns. Introducing unknown genes can increase food sensitivity that can lead to food allergies later in life. Genetic engineering could increase and/or introduce new food toxins. Genetic engineering could alter or decrease a food’s nutritional value. Genetic engineering could contribute to the growing problem of antibiotic resistance.

Make better choices. Avoid GMO formula, breast milk is the best.

The babies most crucial time of development is in the first months of life. The bacteria in the breast milk is what jump-starts the babies gut-flora and immune-system. There is nothing that can compare to real milk. (o)(o)

It’s not the bugs in Similac that make me sick – let’s recall the other ingredients (opinion)

(NaturalNews) It has been a few days since Abbott Laboratories, makers of Similac infant formula, issued a recall after discovering some of its products may have been contaminated with beetles (and beetle larvae). The mainstream media ran with this story and parents everywhere suddenly got concerned that their babies might be drinking beetle parts.

But are beetles really the scariest thing in Similac? Not by a long shot if you know anything about nutrition.

I purchased a 24-oz container of Similac Go & Grow soy-based formula, emblazoned with a cute teddy bear on the front label and positioned towards “9 to 24 months.” It comes with the claim “balanced nutrition for older babies.” But is it really balanced nutrition?

42.6% corn syrup solids

The very first ingredient, shown right on the label, is 42.6% CORN SYRUP SOLIDS.

Stop right there. Are they saying that Similac infant formula is 42.6% corn syrup solids? That’s a form of highly processed sugar. Is this really what infants need — nearly half their formula to be made of corn syrup sugars? Nutritionists would strongly disagree.

But it gets even better: The next ingredient is 14.7% SOY PROTEIN ISOLATE. Most soy protein, is derived from a hexane chemical extraction process that we’ve covered in previous articles: https://www.naturalnews.com/026303_s…

Beyond the hexane question, did you know that 91% of the soy fields grown in America contain genetically modified soy? The Similac can does not say “non-GMO soy” because it’s not required to be put on the label (thanks to the FDA shell game). But Consumer Reports actually bought and tested infant formula for genetically engineered DNA and found that Similac was using GMO soy in their products. (https://www.consumersunion.org/food/…)

The next ingredient in the Similac can I bought is 11.5% HIGH OLEIC SAFFLOWER OIL, followed by 10.1% SUGAR (SUCROSE).

If you’re doing the math on this, that makes Similac 52.7% sugar (corn syrup solids plus the sucrose) with soy protein. I can hardly think of a better way to raise diabetic, obese children than to feed them a diet that’s over 50 percent sugar. It also seems like a great way to get infants addicted to sugar — a curse that will haunt them through the rest of their lives.

Next on the list is 8.4% SOY OIL (most likely from GMO soybeans, too) and then 7.8% COCONUT OIL (which is, in my opinion, the only healthy ingredient in the entire product).

Basically, then, this Similac product is sugared-up soy protein with safflower and soy oil.

Plus it has some chemical “vitamins” on the label such as CYANOCOBALAMIN, the cheapest form of vitamin B-12 available to food manufacturers. It actually binds the vitamin to a cyanide molecule, just in case you were wondering.

As wikipedia explains, “B12 refers to a group of cobalt-containing vitamer compounds known as cobalamins: these include cyanocobalamin (an artifact formed as a result of the use of cyanide in the purification procedures).”

It then adds, “the cyanocobalamin form of B12 does not occur in nature normally, but is a byproduct of the fact that other forms of B12 are avid binders of cyanide (-CN) which they pick up in the process of activated charcoal purification of the vitamin after it is made by bacteria in the commercial process. Since the cyanocobalamin form of B12 is easy to crystallize and is not sensitive to air-oxidation, it is typically used as a form of B12 for food additives and in many common multivitamins.” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitami…)

Why Similac should have been recalled long before the beetle incident

With this in mind, what we really have with Similac infant formula is powered sugars, genetically modified soy protein, more sugar, safflower and soy oils, a bit of coconut oil and some vitamin chemicals made with cyanide molecules. They also throw in some DHA to make moms think it must somehow resemble breast milk fats.

Are you beginning to see why the beetles are the least of the problems with this product?

Keep in mind that ignorant moms are feeding this stuff to their babies every single day! They think it’s good for their babies because they don’t take the time to read ingredient labels (or they are unable to understand what the labels mean). But make no mistake: I can’t think of a single informed nutritionist who would recommend feeding babies a powder that’s more than 50% sugar combined with genetically modified soy protein. To do so is actually nutritional child abuse in my view.

That’s why I say Similac should be recalled just based on what’s on the label! In my opinion, this is a dangerous combination of sugars and genetically modified ingredients that are likely to promote diabetes, obesity and nutritional imbalances in babies. To feed this to babies is to nutritionally cause them harm, in my opinion… and to think that Abbott Laboratories is making money selling this sugared-up GMO soy protein to consumers just makes me sick.

I think their slogan should be something like, “Similac – Creating tomorrow’s diabetics, one baby at a time.”

Help spread the word

Please share this story and send it to moms, dads and anyone who has an infant. Don’t let them feed their babies sugars and GMO soy protein!

We need to reach all the parents who are buying Similac and unknowingly feeding their babies corn syrup solids, GMO soy protein, soy oil, sucrose and other ingredients that I consider to be “pure junk.” No society should allow this junk to be fed to their babies, especially if they’re trying to prevent obesity, diabetes, heart disease and other chronic health problems that are already bankrupting the nation.

In my opinion, Similac might be the perfect product to raise a generation of Big Pharma customers who will need a whole battery of prescription drugs to “treat” all the degenerative health conditions caused by eating dead, processed, sugared-up and genetically modified foods. To imagine that this could somehow be a replacement for the rich, complex nutritional abundance of mother’s milk is nutritionally insane.

Ridiculously overpriced

With Similac, there’s also the price issue. Considering how cheap these ingredients are, this product seems ridiculously overpriced. If you really wanted to feed your baby something almost identical to this, you could just buy your own table sugar (cheaper than dirt), isolated soy protein (also cheaper than dirt), safflower oil (almost cheaper than dirt) and some coconut oil or flax oil (not so cheap, but you don’t need to use much) then mix it all up and add water.

But what mom in her right mind would do such a crazy thing? No mom in her right mind would mix up 50% table sugar in a bottle and feed it to her baby, but that’s essentially what she’s doing when feeding her baby this variety of Similac that I purchased.

Nutritional insanity has reached a new low with Similac, I submit, and the beetles are the least of the problems with this product line that borders on “nutritional child abuse.”

There should seriously be a law against infant formula being made with corn syrup solids and sucrose, not to mention GMO ingredients.

Spread the word, folks. That’s the only way people will find out the truth about this and start choosing something that’s healthier for their babies. If we hope to have healthy adults in the future, we have to stop nutritionally abusing them when they’re infants.
