The Formula Deception: Unmasking the Dangers of Infant Formula - AI Podcast
Story at-a-glance
- The infant formula industry has almost 100 billion dollars in annual sales. This was accomplished by unscrupulous marketing that trained doctors and parents to discard breastfeeding and tricked them into believing infant formula is "safe and effective"
- Infant formula is full of corn syrup and seed oils, which cause metabolic dysfunction and excessive weight gain. Remarkably, that weight gain has been normalized, making it possible to diagnose normal children as "underweight" and thereby push formula on them
- Infant formula is full of seed oils due to a 1980 law requires infant formula to be full of seed oils (due to a 1963 study that concluded those fats were essential for infant development). Since then, a mountain of evidence has emerged showing they're quite harmful, but no one ever got around to updating the 1980 formula requirements. RFK Jr. is thus the first H.H.S. Secretary ever to attempt to address this colossal mistake
- In contrast, breast milk (in conjunction with a nutritious maternal diet) is one of the healthiest substances an infant can consume, providing a myriad of benefits including developing the infant's brain, gut, and immune system, decreasing many serious diseases, enhancing the critical mother-child bond, and reducing the mother's risk of many severe illnesses (e.g., cancer)
- Before the introduction of infant formula, mothers would often supplement their children's diets with animal milks. If raw, these milks can yield significant benefits to children, while in contrast, when pasteurized, they have many issues (e.g., they frequently create allergies and asthma)
