Dear President Obama, Hold the EPA & FDA Accountable: Get Toxic Chemicals out of Infant Formula
As if we don’t have enough to worry about with BPA in infant formula, now the Environmental Working Group warns us that perchlorate (a rocket fuel ingredient than can interfere with infant brain development) is showing up in infant formula.
Mix that formula with tainted water (found in 28 states) and baby gets a double dose of perchlorate which is known to interfere with the thyroid hormones essential for brain development. Perchlorate poses particular risks to the developing fetus, infants and young children.
