In May of 2022 there was a shortage of commercial baby formula here in the United States. I’ve always been very concerned about the toxicity of baby formula with it’s questionable ingredients that contribute to lack of development and thriving in babies, so today I’m excited to discuss why these formulas are so problematic and what actually led to the shortage, with Weston A. Price Foundation president, Sally Fallon Morell.
We also talk about why breast milk is best and what mother’s can do if they aren’t able to produce their own milk, as well as the best way to wean your baby.
Sally Fallon Morell is founding president of The Weston A. Price Foundation, a non-profit nutrition education foundation dedicated to returning nutrient-dense food to American tables, and editor of the Foundation’s quarterly journal.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why baby formula powders are never sterile
- Why breastfeeding and homemade formulas are best
- The need for lactose to support neurological development
- Hidden health concerns and issues with soy-based formulas and why iron should never be added
- Industrial seed oils and how they inhibit hormone and enzyme production
- The need for cholesterol to aid and support hormones and neurotransmitters
