I don't know if this information is useful to any Lactnetters at all, but I got this off another list. People have questioned whether or not Karo syrup falls into the same category as honey wrt giving to babies. I didn't know the definitive answer on this (though I suspected it was OK), so thought there might be another one or two out there that didn't know either. << From Nelson's textbook of Pediatrics, 15th ed., 1996, p. 814: "Corn syrups were once thought to be a possible source of botulinum spores, but recent evidence indicates otherwise." >From the 1997 Red Book chapter on Infant Botulism, p. 175: "Light and dark corn syrups are not potential sources." >> Jan B in cold, but sunny & dry Wheaton, IL *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
