I hesitate to bring this up again, but there seems to be conflicting
information about the FDA approval for those ABM additives (DHA/ARA). If
you "google" search the topic, several sites say they are approved. In our
discussion here, it is said that they are not, and folks seem convinced
enough to act on this belief. GRAS, generally regarded as safe, seems to
be "approval." ...If it isn't approval, then what is it? I understand that
the AAP hasn't recommended for or against.It seems that many or all
products are under post market surveillence as routine after approval by
FDA. Is it because they are additives that they need approval? Is it
because the FDA oversees formulas? Looks like it's in some jars of baby
food, too. On the NABA page for "eliminating formula dependency" it is
stated that there is a question of safety surrounding these formulas. Why
obtain informed concent for an experimental product when it has already
been approved by the FDA? I have to present an accurate arguement. Thanks,
Judy
