“I don’t think this is funny.
Our babies deserve better.”
Did you know that perchlorates exist in nature?
“at how many ppb?”
Or ppt, with the ion chromatographs we have now.
Not to mention that the health effects are VERY easily treatable and apparently fully reversible.
Pretty much a non-issue if someone is given medical care when they get sick.
Use iodized salt. That fixes the problem.
People have been getting upset about perchlorates ever since the Greens started trying to eliminate 4th of July fireworks. They searched for health effects until they found a minor inhibition of iodine uptake.
Then, once people started researching it, they found perchlorates at very low levels in lots of places- it occurs naturally!
You think they're gonna spring for the good stuff rather than more marketing materials?
Cheers!
Up there with CO32 as a pollutant. Not to mention the (literally!)deadly dihydrogen monoxide.
lol probably all got laid off after Alar got banned and this is the only gig they could get.
Doesn’t everything exist in nature? Otherwise, where would the stuff have come from.
The important info is what were the levels in the formulas, and what level is tolerable for human infants.
No, the Oaf in Chief could never do anything sensible with efficiency.
The author completely ignores the fact that moms mix the power with dihydrogen monoxide, a chemical that has killed countless human beings since the dawn of man.
I read recently that dihidrogen monoxide has a pH that actually is higher than concentrated sulfuric acid, yet there are no restrictions on bringing it into a nursery full of kids.
Found this, but still think we need more info..

and then they put it in a plastic bottle made with biphenol A to boot. the deck is stacked from the gitgo..
I was breast fed. whew.
Good one?
Did you know that on 15 April 1912 dihydrogen monoxide killed 1,517 people?
not sure on levels, I’ll see if I can dig up some data..
No, not everything exists in nature. DDT, for instance, is only man-made. Methoxychlor, too. Plutonium, technetium, latex paint are not found in nature.
But if something is found in environmental samples naturally, then it probably means that we have adapted to it, it’s not too poisonous.

So if we start a program to remove perchlorate from human breast milk to keep our kids safe, how much would it cost and who would do it and what penalties would you assign to a mom who fed her baby contaminated breast milk? Then we move on to cow’s milk and Ben and Jerry’s.
And I bet nothing was done to solve the root cause. The cover up continues!
Good link, thanks jacquej!
Here in the South Bay, a couple rocket testing sites have been used for years, perc had spread thru the local aquifers, a series of wells have been installed to try and retard the plumes underground, I haven’t followed the progress much of late so I am not sure how they are doing, but ..
