Rocket Fueled Baby Formula ‘Safe’ Says Industry Council
The rocket fuel in powdered baby formula is ’safe,’ according to Haley Curtis Stevens, spokesperson for the International Formula Council, which represents the infant formula industry. Stevens says the recently published study from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that disclosed finding traces of perchlorate in powdered baby formula provides no data on any adverse health effects that might develop from feeding these formulas to a baby.
The CDC published the report last month and it does not contain any information at all on the ill effects of consuming rocket fueled baby formula, other than to say safe levels of the chemical might exceed the limit considered safe for adults if it is mixed with water that also contains perchlorate. The study merely identified the presence of perchlorate in an assortment of powdered baby formulas that it did not mention by name. The study gained public attention once an advocacy group, the Environmental Working Group, called attention to it on Thursday by means of a press release.
When the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) conducted recent tests of almost 4,000 public water supply systems servicing populations of 10,000 or more, approximately 160 of them contained perchlorate in detectable levels. The EPA is considering raising the safe limit of perchlorate in the public water supply and, under the proposed new standards, 31 of the water supplies tested would have exceeded the safe limit. Water supplies most affected by perchlorate contamination occur near sites associated with the defense and aerospace industries.
Several states have established their own safe levels of perchlorate in drinking water, independent of federal standards.
Scientific evidence indicates perchlorate impacts thyroid function although no tests on perchlorate have proven the chemical causes health problems. The thyroid regulates metabolism and problems can affect brain development in fetuses and infants.
Infant formulas are required by law to contain iodine, which can counteract the effects of perchlorate, making it difficult to assess risk. A child’s risk is also dependent upon his or her size and quantity of formula consumed. Even the formula itself can be a factor; the CDC study found formulas based on cow’s milk contain higher levels of perchlorate than others.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is aware of the controversy but has issued no recommendations that anyone change diet or eating habits based on the possibility of perchlorate contamination.

“Rocket Fueled Baby Formula ‘Safe’ Says Industry Council.” I can’t help but hope that in 50 years someone will come across this headline and realize what a sick society we were - that we would put profits above all else, including THE HEALTH OF OUR MOST PRECIOUS CHILDREN. Shame on you!!
If an industry claims that poisoned and contaminated baby formula is safe, then a mob of screaming people needs to attack that officials house, drag them and their children out into the street, and set fire to them one by one. first the children of these officials need to be burned alive, while scrutinizing the faces of the officials for signs of guilt. and when the official admits that they were just protecting their jobs because they were cowards and feared for their futures, and did it only to protect themselves and werrent thinking about the millions who are affected by their decisions, then the people should take them, and slowly with a big dull knife start to make an incision from the crotch to the mouth. and as they are begging saying i am sorry, i am sorry for my sins, i am sorry for my sins, tell them that it is the LORD that is laying his hands upon him. And the Lord is displeased with those who have taken his name in vain, and have smeared His comandments, and have not been ashamed at their nakedness, but have exulted in it. And the Lord shall rip from that man, his soul and destroy it, because it was BAD. and it shall be no more.
Safemilk,
Did the voices tell you to write that? Your comment seems a little on the “I’m scary and out of my mind!” side.

Safemilk, you’re not helping. If you can’t say anything useful, have the decency to leave the empty space. It’s people like you, dropping God’s name after you say utterly insane stuff like you just have, that makes it blasted difficult to be a Christian sometimes.

The last time I checked we (the american people) were the bosses’of our babies. If the government, or scientific communtity or even a pediatrician says its safe to feed your child rocket fuel and plastic and we believe that then we are a bunch of sheep. I think its time to stop doing and believing lies and start demanding truth and throw the formula away. What in the world are we thinking? Its safe to feed your baby rocket fuel and plastic …. Our grandparents would’ve been horrified and outraged. God help us all.
One important thing to consider here is that BREASTMILK is also contaminated with rocket and jet fuel. It trickles down from planes above and cows and other animals eat the grass. We then eat the animals or drink their milk…
Breast Milk has also been proven to be contaminated with:
-flame retardents
-Phthatlates
-Pesticides
-Lead
-Mercury
-DDt
Yes, breastmilk is best for your baby but come on people- can you pick out which children are breastfed and which had been fed formula? nobody can, not even pediatricians could tell you that.
Relax
Of course they will never tell you which ones are “safe” and which ones are not, I also beleive they have been putting something into the formulas that maybe to blame for the adhd ect.. Now a days there are so many children on the meds for adhd ect.. and not to mention mental problems.
