In 2010 Dr. Christoper Exley, Professor in Bioinorganic Chemistry, and his team at Keele University examined 16 branded, ready-made and powdered milks for infants and found concentrations of aluminum were up to 40 times higher than are present in breast milk and several times higher than are allowed in drinking water.

We received this comment regarding DHA in formula from a concerned mama and asked our Health Advisor Dr. Murray Clarke to respond below. “My daughter was one of those babies that had a serious issue with DHA in formula.

It breaks my heart that infant formula companies have been trying to persuade women for years that an infant formula is superior to breast milk. It is even more sad to know that their ploy has affected some women’s decision not to breast feed! (I was a formula fed baby, and my mother was lead [...]

Here we give more clarity to the tests, because as the time of our last post the information as to which bottles were actually [...]
Sarah Schmidt from the Winnipeg Free Press released an article a couple days ago regarding the alarming test results that recently showed BPA, a hormone disrupting chemical that is toxic to babies and children, in baby bottles marketed as BPA-Free plastic bottles.

When I left the hospital after having my baby I left with a free diaper bag full of formula samples, bottles, coupons, and even a little formula-promoting cooler to keep my formula filled bottles in.
