despite the popular are food for baby bottle, seems to be that they are bad for the health of children and can cause problems in the long run.
Has been claimed to Gerber Products Company and other brands of baby food, arguing that juices and infant cereals contain high doses of lead.
according to the demand started this week by the Environmental Law Foundation, different companies sell food contaminated with lead and we need to sell them with warnings on their labels, respecting what requests the FDA (Administration of medicines and food in English).
Brands which have been named as part of the demand for food that cause problems on child health are del Monte Foods (as well as Gerber) (which in addition to food, sells fruit in syrup and canned foods and Beech-Nut Nutrition Corporation, a Swedish company which is in charge of producing cereals enriched with natural nutrients.
)
Has been cited as foods for baby with lead to the porridge of peaches, carrots, pears and camote (sweet potato); also are classified as dangerous drinks grape juice and mixed fruit cocktails, because it is said that these also contain lead.
When they do not know, the consumption of lead in children can damage their development and reduce their IQ constantly research have been made to eliminate this component of different products such as paint and gasoline, but seems to be that the struggle continues to intensify.
However, the products in question have been analyzed and discovered that the Gerber baby food do not generate a risk to health, and while it contains a minimal amount of lead, is not sufficient to generate childhood diseases or affect health in any way.
However, while officially Gerber products are not bad for health, we must emphasize that the best thing to do is to make the effort to consume natural alternatives and ensure that the feeding of babies is the most natural possible.
