The article shut up?

[PGR88]

Well if CNN said so...

[bimboeruption]

Was the baby food made in China?

Well, there is always the option of making your own.

People can buy baby food grinders or just use a fork to mash up some soft food.

This will get interesting. I believe in just the last few weeks Trader Joes won in court over a similar issue with heavy metals in their Dark Chocolate. I believe the Judge ruled it wasn’t a case of there not being heavy metals in the chocolate, but that the FDA had not set what acceptable levels were. (or something to that effect)

Consumer Reports tested major label Chocolate manufactures product and found various levels of multiple heavy metals in most if not all of them, Garadelli had the least amount of those brands they tested.

There are extremely small levels of heavy metals in *everything*. Our ability to detect parts per billion (1 part per 1000 million" has become so good we can detect stuff that has no effect.

The dose makes the poison. Some things are absolutely necessesary in small quantities and deadly in larger quantities.

The idea that the smallest quantities of materials are still harmful is insane.

This click bait scare tactic article is not even willing to tell us what the levels of the metals detected were, just using the scare descriptor of "high".
