Monsanto’s GMO Soy Found in Baby Formula in Portland, Oregon
This just in: the Center for Food Safety (CFS) has announced that genetic testing has confirmed the presence of soy that was genetically engineered by Monsanto for heavy pesticide exposure in infant formula now being sold in Portland, Oregon. This should come as a wake-up call to parents getting ready to vote for GMO food labeling in the state.
Just in case you weren’t aware, genetically altered soy has been proven to have higher levels of herbicides than almost any other GMO crop. In many cases, the levels of glyphosate have been called extreme. Is that really what you want to feed your developing infant?
A newborn’s immune system is not nearly as strong as an adults, and even adults are showing compromised immunity with the consumption of so many herbicide- and pesticide-riddled foods stemming from GMO crops.
The testing of Portland-sold baby formula was coordinated between CFS and Dr. Ray Seidler, the original EPA scientist to study genetically engineered crops (now retired) and past professor at Oregon State University.
Another recent nationwide study by Consumer Reports found that genetically engineered ingredients are in more than 80 common food products.
Aurora Paulsen with Center for Food Safety’s Portland office said:
“I think most moms purchasing infant formula have no idea they are feeding their baby a product that has been genetically engineered to survive exposure to high levels of chemical pesticides. It’s no surprise that Monsanto is the top donor opposing Measure 92 which would give Oregonians the ability to know what foods have been genetically engineered. The presence of these products in infant formula being sold in Oregon really highlights the need for basic labeling.”
Dr. Ray Seidler concurs. He added:
“Everything we know from the recent medical literature suggests we should be doing everything possible to reduce infant exposure to chemicals. Finding soy in infant formula that has been genetically engineered specifically to survive high levels of chemical pesticide spraying is a real concern and takes us in the wrong direction.”
The testing was carried out utilizing three brands of infant formula sold at Fred Meyer in Portland. Which were they?
- Similac Soy Isomil – Contained Monsanto’s GMO soy, and Liberty Link soy made by Bayer to withstand spraying with the herbicide glufosinate.
- Enfamil Prosobee Powder Soy Infant Formula – Contained both Monsanto’s GMO soy and Bayer’s Liberty Link soy.
There are likely more infant formulas that contain GMO ingredients, even if they haven’t been tested – and biotech can get away with poisoning your children because they aren’t currently required to label anything as GMO.
This November 4th, please remember to tell every mom you know – vote for mandatory GMO labeling on Measure 92. If you don’t live in Oregon, spread the word. We can’t keep letting Monsanto, Bayer, Dow, and Syngenta, among others, keep creating toxic ‘food’ that we feed our families.
If you think there is any glyphosate in any food product you are doing the test wrong. Use a reputable lab test, you will find no trace of glyphosate in any GMO product.
Here’s an easier way. Take your baby off gmo formula. You’ll see your baby is happier and sleeping better. If your breastfeeding, don’t eat gmo food. Watch Genetic Roulette to learn about gmo food. Any corporation can buy any science or politician they want to get their product on the market to you. These corporations have hired people to try to confuse you. Watch the film, do the simple home experiment. You’ll know the answer when you see your baby happy and sleeping well.
Monsanto will wipe this planet clean. Ready for the next lot. Next life they will be cleaning another planet. It is all in the plan.
thanks!!!!!
My child is having a very serious tummy bloated, he was not eating well for more than a week. Mums, do you have any formula to recommend to prevent constipation.
Try making them drink more water?? thats the best solution dy, if not then feed them with prunes? Also best not to always let them eat ice cream! it will make the constipation prob worst!
Hey, don’t ever trust those traditional remedies because there are not really working. I tried once as my mum asked me to use one of the remedies for my daughter and she said it is traditional remedy and confirm works,but ended up I brought my daughter to hospital, it is really dangerous. By the way, you should look for proper and proven remedies.
can try switching to Mamil bcos I’ve used it & it worked! I faced same prob previously like u all as well, my SIL recommend me Mamil and since a yr ago and since then I’ve been sticking to it already. Mamil can work so good in preventing children constipation bcos it has prebiotics, contains no sugar which can help in this matter. Plus Mamil also has the highest level of DHA!
My kdis have the
same problem before, but my neighbour suggested me to change to Mamil. Well,
no more constipation at the moment already!!! cheers, hope it helps u as well.
Home remedies really helps on constipation kids? Please advise further.
