?Jane, so sorry for the garbled message about the new DHA and infant formula report. Here is the site for accessing the entire report as well as the executive summary. Also provided is a sampling of the adverse event reports to the FDA regarding the side effects of these formulas that parents and health providers have submitted. These reports had to be obtained through the Freedom of Information Act as the FDA does not make them?readily available.

NABA and the Cornucopia Institute have jointly petitioned the FDA to place a warning label on this formula to let parents know that some babies react very badly to these ingredients. You can read the petition to the FDA as well as view a sample letter that you can use to?write to the FDA in support of such a warning label.

NABA and the Cornucopia Institute also petitioned the Federal Trade Commission to investigate misleading formula advertising claims which you can read about too.

The more letters these agencies receive the more likely they are to investigate the issues.
