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.
