Dear Lactnet Friends:

"Why is *cupric sulfate* -- a known herbicide, fungicide and pesticide --
being used in infant formula? And why is it displayed proudly on product
labels as a presumably nutritious ingredient?

Used to kill fungus, aquatic  plants and roots of plants, parasitic
infections in aquarium fish and snails, as well as algae and bacteria such
as Escherichia coli, cupric sulfate hardly sounds fit for human
consumption, much less for infants."

warmly,
