Baby Formula: Inflammatory Food Toxins Found in High Levels in Infants

ScienceDaily (Oct. 5, 2011) — Researchers from Mount Sinai School of

Medicine have found high levels of food toxins called Advanced Glycation

End products (AGEs) in infants. Excessive food AGEs, through both

maternal blood transmission and baby formula, could together

significantly increase children's risk for diseases such as diabetes

from a very young age. A second study of AGEs in adults found that

cutting back on processed, grilled, and fried foods, which are high in

AGEs, may improve insulin resistance in people with diabetes. AGEs --

toxic glucose byproducts previously tied to high blood sugar -- are

found in most heated foods and, in great excess, in commercial infant

formulas....
