Are y’all following what going on with the toxic metals in baby food!? It’s so upsetting.
From the House Committee report:
From the House Committee report:
To sum it up: Commercial baby foods are tainted with significant levels of toxic heavy metals, including arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury.
Exposure to toxic heavy metals causes permanent decreases in IQ, diminished future economic productivity, and increased risk of future criminalized and antisocial behavior in children. Toxic heavy metals endanger infant neurological development and long-term brain function.
The test results of baby foods and their ingredients eclipse the levels the FDA and EOA set for water: including results up to 91 times the arsenic level, up to 177 times the lead level, up to 69 times the cadmium level, and up to 5 times the mercury level.
177 TIMES THE ALLOWABLE LEAD LEVEL!!!! FOR FOOD MARKETED TO BABIES AS YOUNG AS 4 MONTHS OLD!
The Trump administration ignored a secret industry presentation to federal regulators revealing increased risks of toxic heavy metals in baby foods. On 8/1/19 the FDA received a secret slide presentation from Hain (Earth’s Best Organic) that disclosed the the issues with toxicity
This should terrify us all. These companies have gone completely unchecked dosing our children high with high levels of lead, arsenic, and mercury and likely causing an array of issues with brain development.
