See #18... I have research and sources...
Now, about man made agents in our food.
I would only agree (in my limited expertise on the subject) that it is troublesome the depletion of trace minerals in the soil is affecting nutritional health.
Mothers need to breast feed infants. The antibodies are essential. In fact, bovine colostrum is now being harvested as a nutritional supplement because of the antibodies...
However, this also means the calf is not getting this. Dairy farmers and beef producers often load their stock up on antibiotics. Add to this the fact that the feeding practices of cattle are sometimes neglected, then consider problems like mad cow disease.
There is a reason cows are regularly given mineral salts.
The funny thing about cow’s milk is that the casein is very course and not readily absorbed by the human digestive system. Goat’s milk is much better for you because it is very easy to digest.
Couldn't agree more.
Even though we as a country do all we can to make things safe, I have to question the exposure of the amount plasticizers in all the plastic baby food jars, bottles, disposable bottle liners, etc. that kids are given. Even with the tightest controlled best quality plastics, these plasticizers leech into the food.
One way to peg this as an environmental and / or breast feeding concern is to do case studies of underdeveloped countries and the % rate of autism in the children there.
Wouldn't take much to offset the immune system of infants and toddlers as to open their systems to an otherwise non-threat virus, bacteria or man made compound from lack of the mothers' natural antibodies provided through beast feeding.
Don't screw with mother nature, I say. Every time man thinks he can con nature....we pay.
