I think this is pretty scary. We heard about all the babies that got sick in China and a number of them died due to melamine being in their formula. Now on the news they said traces of the industrial chemical melamine has been detected in samples of top-selling U.S. infant formula. However, federal regulators insist the products are safe. That does not make me feel safe about it at all. What is any amount of melamine doing in something that could effect our smallest little human beings?
The Food and Drug Administration said last month it was unable to identify any melamine exposure level as safe for infants, but a top official said it would be a "dangerous overreaction for parents to stop feeding infant formula to babies who depend on it." They said the levels that they are detecting are extremely low but that does not restore my confidence. How about you? I raised 5 babies on canned carnation milk with Karo syrup added per the baby doctors measurements and they grew to be the healthiest of babies anywhere. And no doubt it is still a good formula but is cheaper and would put a great many companies out of business and save the parents money, so it isn't going to happen.
