*[Enwl-eng] Babies have been eating arsenic and lead

[ENWL]

                        Contamination is so bad, 95% of all baby foods are 
implicated.









                        Heavy Metals and Other Toxins Are in 95% of Foods 
Marketed for Babies. Tell the U.S. Government to Protect Our Children and 
End This Now!

                        Without even knowing it, parents and caretakers in 
the U.S. have been poisoning their babies — feeding them lead, arsenic, 
mercury, and cadmium. In fact, a recent study found that a full 95% of all 
baby foods on the market in the U.S. are tainted with one of these toxins. 
Even more horrifying, 25% of all baby food on U.S. grocery shelves contain 
all four of these dangerous heavy metals. Why are baby food manufacturers 
allowed to get away with this? If anything should be more thoroughly 
regulated, surely it should be the nourishment we feed our children!



                        Researchers have found heavy metals in all types of 
baby food, from cereal and rice, to infant formula and fruit juices. Things 
that happen during early childhood development have lifelong effects on 
health outcomes. Even tiny amounts of these toxic substances can impact 
infants' and toddlers' cognitive functioning and physical health — for 
life. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) promised that, this year, 
it would work on suggesting new limits on the amount of lead and arsenic 
allowed in baby food. But we need it to take action even faster: the FDA 
must crack down on toxins in baby food immediately. We cannot allow 
corporations to continue to poison babies! Sign the petition to demand that 
the FDA take action now to safeguard the health of our nation's children!




                 Thank you,

                        Miranda

                        P.S. When caretakers buy baby food, they trust that 
it is safe to feed to their infant. But as it turns out, 95% of it is not. 
Sign the petition.
