We have yet another revelation of products intended for infants containing toxic substances. Healthy Babies Bright Futures\u2019 (HBBF) conducted a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthybabyfood.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>study<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0of 288 products, including over 7,000 from other previously published studies. \u201cWe found no evidence to suggest that homemade purees and family brands are generally safer, with lower metal levels, than store-bought baby food,\u201d HBBF warned.<\/p>\n<p>Even\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/children\/news\/20220812\/homemade-baby-food-contains-toxic-metals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>WebMD<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is reporting on this crime. Around 94% of store and homemade baby foods contained at least one toxic heavy metal. The organization warns against consuming puffs, rice cakes, crisped rice cereal, and brown rice when cooked without additional water. These items have actual arsenic within them, and both children and adults are at risk. Yes, the FDA approved these items. In fact, arsenic was found in 68% of store-bought food and 72% of family homemade food. Lead was detected in 90% of store-bought food and 80% of family homemade purees.<\/p>\n<p>This means that almost ALL available \u201cfood\u201d for babies contains toxins.<\/p>\n<p>The \u00a0American Academy of Pediatrics warned, \u201cToxic metal exposure can be harmful to the developing brain. It\u2019s been linked with problems with learning, cognition, and behavior.\u201d Perhaps this is a variable for why autism and other problems have spiked within the US.<\/p>\n<p>The proposed solution:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The FDA should establish and enforce protective limits for heavy metals in all foods consumed by babies and young children. Heavy metal contamination spans all the food aisles of the grocery store; FDA\u2019s safety standards must as well. Standards extending beyond the baby food aisle would also encompass foods eaten during pregnancy, a crucial time for lowering toxic metal exposures.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I am sure many thought that the FDA was already protecting the American public against ingesting contaminated products. Everyone was so eager for the FDA to approve the COVID vaccines when, in reality, the organization is bought and paid for by lobbyists.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/world-news\/corruption\/94-of-baby-food-contains-toxic-metals\/\">https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/world-news\/corruption\/94-of-baby-food-contains-toxic-metals\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Food and Drug Administration does nothing to protect the American public.
