[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We use Lebenswert and it is superior when it comes to the ingredients. [b]Americans formula often has corn syrup as the first ( and main) ingredient.[/b] That’s a total red flag. Then you have synthetic sugars, preservatives, and vitamins added into it. I didn’t want to feed my child that stuff. We go through a U.S. While it’s a little more experience ( formula feeding is in general), is an investment in his health. Adults wouldn’t regularly eat that stuff so why feed it to a new baby? All to save a couple of bucks. Not to mention those formula cans often still contain BPA. Europe has stricter FDA standards. Look at the whole Johnson and Johnson’s baby wash scandal. The product contained carcinogens, causing Europe and Japan to ban the products, while still the U.S. continued to sell the products. Im not saying all U.S. products are bad, but I do believe American formula is not as healthy as the European brands. [/quote]

Gosh, it's hard to take you seriously when you write this.

Pp here. We were going to use Enfamil Gentleease but the first ingredient listed is “Corn Syrup solids”. If not the first ingredient, most still contain it. It’s basiclsly just loading up your bad with processed sugar. [/quote]

Again - I’m looking at the label for my organic formula and do not see corn syrup solids. Its lactose, milk, etc. I would not buy formula over the internet from some place I didn’t know or something not approved for sale in the US regardless of whether it’s theoretically “cleaner.” What does “cleaner” even mean? I’m so tired of being made to feel like US formula is bad or hurting my baby or full of evil chemicals. I mean what about the mom who eats a diet of processed food from BPA lines cans and lives in a house full of new off gassing furniture and artificial fragrances and commutes to work each day inhaling DC pollution? Is none of that in her breast milk? As someone said, how do you know what you are buying from some random internet shop is legit? Are you all tracking European recalls in the event something like the recent issue in france happens? At least if you buy a US formula at Target for instance you know it’s approved for sale, probably has been handled properly and will hear about a problem if one arises. Gosh does it really have to be this hard to feed a baby?[/quote]
Welcome to DCUM![/quote]

That post seems reasonable to me.  Perhaps a little hyper vigilant, but that's not crazy and being wary of things purchased off the internet isn't crazy.[/quote]
