But that's the million dollar question.

Sadly, there is MSG in formula as well...

The Canadian Study
From time to time, we are asked if infant formulas contain processed free glutamic acid (MSG) and processed free aspartic acid – both neurotoxins.
The following are results of analyses of five formulas purchased and analyzed in Canada. Brands are listed in alphabetical order. Ingredients of products sold in the United States and other countries may vary. The manufacturer of Enfalac sold in Canada uses the product name Enfamil in the United States.
You will notice from the tables that hypoallergenic formulas contain much more glutamic acid and aspartic acid than the non-hypoallergenic formulas.

There aren't any.

"And again I ask, why would we CARE about scaring people (hahaha) into breastfeeding? Why would it matter....no profit...."
Oh, Gina! Don't be ridiculous! Of course there's a profit in it... We make money off selling the uber-cool breastfeeder T-shirts, and all those dues we require people to pay to join our "elitist" group! *rolls her eyes lovingly* You silly girl...

Oh shoot! I had totally forgotten about those dues! Is that why I haven't gotten my copy of the current scare tactics newsletter? I promise....it's in the mail!

"You forgot one of the biggies....one of the foods with MSG, that is.....INFANT FORMULA.
You're right, it can trigger a variety of neurologic symptoms, and yet we're feeding it in significant quantities to our little babies, with developing neurologic systems, making them particularly vulnerable. And the highest quantities are found in the specialty formulas like Nutramigen, i.e. those fed to infants even *more* vulnerable...."

And that is utterly disgusting.
Those who claim to be our "health watchdogs" ignore the *EVIDENCE* of harm from money-making substances and refuse to even alert us to the risk.
"Oh shoot! I had totally forgotten about those dues! Is that why I haven't gotten my copy of the current scare tactics newsletter? I promise....it's in the mail!"
More than likely, I'd expect... If you want, I'll just make a copy of this issue's Scare Tactics and send it to you... Just hurry up and get your money in as soon as possible so that you can get back to recieving the newsletters!

Contaminants In Infant Formula
Aluminum - 557-2,346 ug/l in soy formula. Aluminum interferes with cellular metabolic processes and information transfer from DNA
Silicon - 746-13,811 ng/ml in 26 brands of formula tested for silicon. The effect of large amounts of silicon on an infant is unknown
Cadmium - Cadmium is a highly toxic metal that can cause kidney damage in high amounts. Neurotoxic effects such as psychomotor disturbances, behavioral and cognitive disorders have been demonstrated in animal models with low-dose exposure. Cadmium levels can be 6 times higher in soy formula compared to milk- based formula. Cadmium is also found in cereals with the exposure of dietary cadmium from weaning diets up to 12 times higher in children fed infant formula compared to breast milk.
Genetically engineered corn and soy Detected in Alsoy (Carnation/Nestle), Similac Neocare (Ross Labs), Isomil (Ross Labs), Prosobee (Mead Johnson) Transgenic ingredients pose the risk of introducing novel toxins, new allergens, and increased antibiotic resistance to infants. The FDA does not require labeling of genetically engineered foods, so parents will remain unaware that their baby is consuming transgenic ingredients
Phytoestrogens - Phytoestrogens are endocrine disruptors found in soy formulas. Infants fed soy formula can have circulating phytoestrogen concentrations that are 13,000-22,000 times higher than normal levels in early life. These bioactive compounds can create steroid hormone imbalance, compete with enzymes that metabolize steroids, drugs and xenobiotics, and can influence gonadal function. Genistein can be carcinogenic if exposure occurs during critical periods of differentiation. Soy formula has been linked to premature thelarche (breast development in infants and girls under eight years of age). Phytoestrogens (isoflavones) also act on the thyroid gland. They are well known inducers of goiter and anti-thyroid agents. They act against the thyroid by inhibition of thyroid peroxidase. Children with autoimmune thyroid disease were three times more likely to have been fed soy formula in infancy.
