[quote=Anonymous]For me and my baby, the main benefits are:

1. European formulas are subject to stricter organic farming practices.  All European formulas use milk from cows that are both organic and grass fed. In the US it’s either organic OR grass fed. With a European formula you always get both.

2. “European cow’s milk formulas with intact proteins (which is most formulas) cannot have any sucrose at all! ...//... The FDA doesn’t have any such requirements – regarding sucrose, or %lactose. Lots of the “sensitive” formulas in the US would violate this %lactose rule, and Similac Sensitive and most US soy formulas would also violate the sucrose rule.

3. European formulas are more conservative with additives. Locust gum, guar gum, pectins, fructans (like inulin), and carrageenan are not allowed in European formulas. The FDA has no such requirements.

In addition the HiPP UK version made my baby’s poop like breastfeeding poop again and we have never had problems with constipation. [/quote]
