Does anybody know the composition of common sou formula.
Thank you for your help.
something like this.
I got this from WABA.
WHAT'S IN INFANT FORMULA? WATER: May contain high levels of fluoride.
CORN SYRUP: Contains glucose. Mother's milk contains lactose as the main carbohydrate. Not all brands of formula contain lactose.
SUCROSE: Contains no lactose. The wrong sugar for babies.
SOY OIL: Processed using high temperatures and chemicals, bleached and deodorized. Likely to be rancid.
WHEY PROTEIN: High temperature processing likely to destroy fragile whey proteins.
SOY PROTEIN ISOLATE: Highly processed, contains phytoestrogens that can adversely affect baby's hormonal development and depress thyroid function. Does not have GRAS status.
CARRAGEENAN: Extremely hard to digest. In most ready-mixed formulas, carrageenan is one of the main causes of digestive disorders in formula-fed infants, not lactose-intolerance. Caused liver problems and retarded growth in rats.
SOY LECITHIN: Extracted from the soy oil sludge. Likely to be high in pesticides.
SYNTHETIC VITAMINS: Often have the opposite effect of vitamins naturally occurring in food.
FREE GLUTAMIC ACID (MSG) and ASPARTIC ACID: Neurotoxins formed during processing of milk and soy protein powders. Levels are especially high in hypoallergenic formulas.
