I am posting this article separate from all the rest Mike has put out today. I have found that similac from my own experience is one of the most unnoticed nutritional blunders of our time. I was a similac baby myself, back in 1959. So I can talk. I was a very fat over weight baby by the time I was 6 months old. I had pnuemonia, bronchitis, lung issues, tonsilitis, by the time I was 4 I had all these health issues and I was raised in Miami Beach, Florida, so it was not the weather. It was the formula I was raised on since the day I was born.

So by the time I became a mom I was smarter for it. I breast fed every one of my kids, all 4 of them. But my daughters were not so fortunate. My daughter could not feed her daughter any longer breast milk at a month old. So I had to help her decide what to do. Make a long story short, I found a source of raw goats milk for her. We put her on similac at first and she was so gassy, so unhappy, cried all the time, it was hard on her digestion. So I found the source for her locally so that she could have goats milk instead and all the symptoms went away. She is now about 17 lbs and has been drinking her goats milk for 4 months now. She is a happy little girl. Her digestion is perfect, she does not spit up much at all. Not like the similac.

Similac is pushed on low income families too. WIC pushing it, its the only one that they allow mothers to buy, which is sinful. criminal in my opinion.

SO if your baby is having a hard time digesting the similac or other formulas like it, make the switch, find a source of raw goats milk. It is 2nd to mother's milk. La Leche League recommends it as well.

Most doctors will tell you do not do this, conventional doctors anyway. They will scare you, telling you raw milk is bad for your baby. But similac is a lot worse. it makes your baby distorted looking too, fat, over weight, the soy is not good for baby period, it messes with the thyroid. The sugar you are giving your baby is unnecessary, and its HFCS too, remember that Corn Sugar is disquised thanks to the FDA not protecting us, and our children.

Babies do not need sugar at this point in their lives. But the Big Pharma industry is counting on you to buy this for your baby to start the whole cycle of people on Big Pharma drugs. From Cradle to the grave.

(NaturalNews) It has been a few days since Abbott Laboratories, makers of Similac infant formula, issued a recall after discovering some of its products may have been contaminated with beetles (and beetle larvae). The mainstream media ran with this story and parents everywhere suddenly got concerned that their babies might be drinking beetle parts.But are beetles really the scariest thing in Similac? Not by a long shot if you know anything about nutrition.I purchased a 24-oz container of Similac Go & Grow soy-based formula, emblazoned with a cute teddy bear on the front label and positioned towards "9 to 24 months." It comes with the claim "balanced nutrition for older babies." But is it really balanced nutrition?

42.6% corn syrup solidsThe very first ingredient, shown right on the label, is 42.6% CORN SYRUP SOLIDS.I took a picture of the ingredients label so you can see it for yourself. Click here to see the pic:http://naturalnews.com/images/Simil...Stop right there. Are they saying that Similac infant formula is 42.6% corn syrup solids? That's a form of highly processed sugar. Is this really what infants need -- nearly half their formula to be made of corn syrup sugars? Nutritionists would strongly disagree.But it gets even better: The next ingredient is 14.7% SOY PROTEIN ISOLATE. Most soy protein, as NaturalNews readers already know, is derived from a hexane chemical extraction process that we've covered in previous articles:http://www.naturalnews.com/026303_s...Beyond the hexane question, did you know that 91% of the soy fields grown in America containgenetically modified soy? The Similac can does not

say "non-GMO soy" because it's not required to be put on the label (thanks to the FDA shell game). But Consumer Reportsactually bought and tested infant formula for genetically engineered DNA and found that Similac was using GMO soy in their products. (http://www.consumersunion.org/food/...)The next ingredient in the Similac can I bought is 11.5% HIGH OLEIC SAFFLOWER OIL, followed by 10.1% SUGAR (SUCROSE).If you're doing the math on this, that makes Similac 52.7% sugar (corn syrup solids plus the sucrose) with soy protein. I can hardly think of a better way to raise diabetic, obese children than to feed them a diet that's over 50 percent sugar. It also seems like a great way to get infants addicted to sugar -- a curse that will haunt them through the rest of their lives.Next on the list is 8.4% SOY OIL (most likely from GMO soybeans, too) and then 7.8% COCONUT OIL (which is, in my opinion, the only healthy ingredient in the entire product).Basically, then, this Similac product is sugared-up soy protein with safflower and soy oil.Plus it has some chemical "vitamins" on the label such as CYANOCOBALAMIN, the cheapest form of vitamin B-12 available to food manufacturers. It actually binds the vitamin to a cyanide molecule, just in case you were wondering.As wikipedia explains, "B12 refers to a group of cobalt-containing vitamer compounds known as cobalamins: these include cyanocobalamin (an

artifact formed as a result of the use of cyanide in the purification procedures)."It then adds, "the cyanocobalamin form of B12 does not occur in nature normally, but is a byproduct of the fact that other forms of B12 are avid binders of cyanide (-CN) which they pick up in the process of activated charcoal purification of the vitamin after it is made by bacteria in the commercial process. Since the cyanocobalamin form of B12 is easy to crystallize and is not sensitive to air-oxidation, it is typically used as a form of B12 for food additives and in many common multivitamins." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitami...)

Why Similac should have been recalled long before the beetle incidentWith this in mind, what we really have with Similac infant formula is powered sugars, genetically modified soy protein, more sugar, safflower and soy oils, a bit of coconut oil and some vitamin chemicals made with cyanide molecules. They also throw in some DHA to make moms think it must somehow resemble breast milk fats.Are you beginning to see why the beetles are the least of the problems with this product?Keep in mind that ignorant moms are feeding this stuff to their babies every single day! They think it's good for their babies because they don't take the time to read ingredient labels (or they are unable to understand what the labels mean). But make no mistake: I can't think of a single informed nutritionist who would recommend feeding babies a powder that's more than 50% sugar combined with genetically modified soy protein. To do so is actually nutritionalchild abuse in my view.That's why I say Similac should be recalled just based

on what's on the label! In my opinion, this is a dangerous combination of sugars and genetically modified ingredients that are likely to promote diabetes, obesity and nutritional imbalances in babies. To feed this to babies is to nutritionally cause them harm, in my opinion... and to think that Abbott Laboratories is making money selling this sugared-up GMO soy protein to consumers just makes me sick.I think their slogan should be something like, "Similac - Creating tomorrow's diabetics, onebaby at a time."See the ingredients label yourself right here: http://naturalnews.com/images/Simil...

Help spread the wordPlease share this story and send it to moms, dads and anyone who has an infant. Don't let them feed their babies sugars and GMO soy protein!You have my permission to post this story in full, but please give credit back to this page on NaturalNews.com and cite Mike as the author.We need to reach all the parents who are buying Similac and unknowingly feeding their babies corn syrup solids, GMO soy protein, soy oil, sucrose and other ingredients that I consider to be "pure junk." No society should

allow this junk to be fed to their babies, especially if they're trying to prevent obesity, diabetes, heart disease and other chronic health problems that are already bankrupting the nation.In my opinion, Similac might be the perfect product to raise a generation of Big Pharma customers who will need a whole battery of prescription drugs to "treat" all the degenerative health conditions caused by eating dead, processed, sugared-up and genetically modified foods. To imagine that this could somehow be a

replacement for the rich, complex nutritional abundance of mother's milk is nutritionally insane.

Ridiculously overpricedWith Similac, there's also the price issue. Considering how cheap these ingredients are, this product seems ridiculously overpriced. If you really wanted to feed your baby something almost identical to this, you could just buy your own table sugar (cheaper than dirt), isolated soy protein (also cheaper than dirt), safflower oil (almost cheaper than dirt) and some coconut oil or flax oil

(not so cheap, but you don't need to use much) then mix it all up and add water.But what mom in her right mind would do such a crazy thing? No mom in her right mind would mix up 50% table sugar in a bottle and feed it to her baby, but that's essentially what she's doing when feeding her baby this variety of Similac that I purchased.Nutritional insanity has reached a new low with Similac, I submit, and the beetles are the least of the problems with this product line that borders on "nutritional child abuse."There should seriously be a law against infant formula being made with corn syrup solids and sucrose, not to mention GMO

ingredients.Spread the word, folks. That's the only way people will find out the truth about this and start choosing something that's healthier for their babies. If we hope to have healthy adults in the future, we have to stop nutritionally abusing them when they're infants.

HI Marty,I think you mean Celiac, I was tested for celiac and I am not a celiac. Soy messes with the thyroid, this is a fact, and this formula is soy based, and well look at the link that Mike gave us for the ingredients..1st thing is sugar 47% of it, soy oil, then more sugar, and they say Corn sugar, so you know its HFCS..why are so many of our kids developing diabetes these days, look to what they are eating for their 1st food, sugar HFCS all the way..some mothers don't want to be bothered to breast feed, so this is what they do put their babies on this stuff, and there are other formulas out there, I looked and they are only similar, even the organic ones..My point was to make it known that mothers do have alternatives, they can buy raw goats milk for

their babies. It's 2nd to mothers milk.Thanks Marty for your input..I do think similac does makes a formula that is gluten free.Michele

ingredients.Spread the word, folks. That's the only way people will find out the truth about this and start choosing something that's healthier for their babies. If we hope to have healthy adults in the future, we have to stop nutritionally abusing them when they're infants.

Moose milk, now who would have thought of that! I am glad some of the Russian farmers did.

It's being very difficult for me to get raw milk. There aren't any dairy farmers around Louisville, any more. The ones that were listed on google, have retired. I have to drive to Indianna, which is about an hour drive. It's delivered on Thursday and they are out by Saturday. They won't hold any for me, either. I am thinking about buying a goat. There's a farm in Indianna that will take care of your goat and you can get milk that way.

What does goat milk taste like?

[health] It's Not the bugs in Similac that make me sick - let's recall the other ingredients (opinion)

I am posting this article separate from all the rest Mike has put out today. I have found that similac from my own experience is one of the most unnoticed nutritional blunders of our time. I was a similac baby myself, back in 1959. So I can talk. I was a very fat over weight baby by the time I was 6 months old. I had pnuemonia, bronchitis, lung issues, tonsilitis, by the time I was 4 I had all these health issues and I was raised in Miami Beach, Florida, so it was not the weather. It was the formula I was raised on since the day I was born.

So by the time I became a mom I was smarter for it. I breast fed every one of my kids, all 4 of them. But my daughters were not so fortunate. My daughter could not feed her daughter any longer breast milk at a month old. So I had to help her decide what to do. Make a long story short, I found a source of raw goats milk for her. We put her on similac at first and she was so gassy, so unhappy, cried all the time, it was hard on her digestion. So I found the source for her locally so that she could have goats milk instead and all the symptoms went away. She is now about 17 lbs and has been drinking her goats milk for 4 months now. She is a happy little girl. Her digestion is perfect, she does not spit up much at all. Not like the similac.

Similac is pushed on low income families too. WIC pushing it, its the only one that they allow mothers to buy, which is sinful. criminal in my opinion.

SO if your baby is having a hard time digesting the similac or other formulas like it, make the switch, find a source of raw goats milk. It is 2nd to mother's milk. La Leche League recommends it as well.

Most doctors will tell you do not do this, conventional doctors anyway. They will scare you, telling you raw milk is bad for your baby. But similac is a lot worse. it makes your baby distorted looking too, fat, over weight, the soy is not good for baby period, it messes with the thyroid. The sugar you are giving your baby is unnecessary, and its HFCS too, remember that Corn Sugar is disquised thanks to the FDA not protecting us, and our children.

Babies do not need sugar at this point in their lives. But the Big Pharma industry is counting on you to buy this for your baby to start the whole cycle of people on Big Pharma drugs. From Cradle to the grave.

Monday, September 27, 2010by Mike , the Health Ranger

(NaturalNews) It has been a few days since Abbott Laboratories, makers of Similac infant formula, issued a recall after discovering some of its products may have been contaminated with beetles (and beetle larvae). The mainstream media ran with this story and parents everywhere suddenly got concerned that their babies might be drinking beetle parts.But are beetles really the scariest thing in Similac? Not by a long shot if you know anything about nutrition.I purchased a 24-oz container of Similac Go & Grow soy-based formula, emblazoned with a cute teddy bear on the front label and positioned towards "9 to 24 months." It comes with the claim "balanced nutrition for older babies." But is it really balanced nutrition?

42.6% corn syrup solidsThe very first ingredient, shown right on the label, is 42.6% CORN SYRUP SOLIDS.I took a picture of the ingredients label so you can see it for yourself. Click here to see the pic:http://naturalnews.com/images/Similac-Label-Ingredients.jpgStop right there. Are they saying that Similac infant formula is 42.6% corn syrup solids? That's a form of highly processed sugar. Is this really what infants need -- nearly half their formula to be made of corn syrup sugars? Nutritionists would strongly disagree.But it gets even better: The next ingredient is 14.7% SOY PROTEIN ISOLATE. Most soy protein, as NaturalNews readers already know, is derived from a hexane chemical extraction process that we've covered in previous articles:http://www.naturalnews.com/026303_soy_protein_hexane.htmlBeyond the hexane question, did you know that 91% of the soy fields grown in America containgenetically modified soy? The Similac can does not say "non-GMO soy" because it's not required to be put on the label (thanks to the FDA shell game). But Consumer Reportsactually bought and tested infant formula for genetically engineered DNA and found that Similac was using GMO soy in their products. (http://www.consumersunion.org/food/gefny999.htm)The next ingredient in the Similac can I bought is 11.5% HIGH OLEIC SAFFLOWER OIL, followed by 10.1% SUGAR (SUCROSE).If you're doing the math on this, that makes Similac 52.7% sugar (corn syrup solids plus the sucrose) with soy protein. I can hardly think of a better way to raise diabetic, obese children than to feed them a diet that's over 50 percent sugar. It also seems like a great way to get infants addicted to sugar -- a curse that will haunt them through the rest of their lives.Next on the list is 8.4% SOY OIL (most likely from GMO soybeans, too) and then 7.8% COCONUT OIL (which is, in my opinion, the only healthy ingredient in the entire product).Basically, then, this Similac product is sugared-up soy protein with safflower and soy oil.Plus it has some chemical "vitamins" on the label such as CYANOCOBALAMIN, the cheapest form of vitamin B-12 available to food manufacturers. It actually binds the vitamin to a cyanide molecule, just in case you were wondering.As wikipedia explains, "B12 refers to a group of cobalt-containing vitamer compounds known as cobalamins: these include cyanocobalamin (an artifact formed as a result of the use of cyanide in the purification procedures)."It then adds, "the cyanocobalamin form of B12 does not occur in nature normally, but is a byproduct of the fact that other forms of B12 are avid binders of cyanide (-CN) which they pick up in the process of activated charcoal purification of the vitamin after it is made by bacteria in the commercial process. Since the cyanocobalamin form of B12 is easy to crystallize and is not sensitive to air-oxidation, it is typically used as a form of B12 for food additives and in many common multivitamins." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_B12)

Why Similac should have been recalled long before the beetle incidentWith this in mind, what we really have with Similac infant formula is powered sugars, genetically modified soy protein, more sugar, safflower and soy oils, a bit of coconut oil and some vitamin chemicals made with cyanide molecules. They also throw in some DHA to make moms think it must somehow resemble breast milk fats.Are you beginning to see why the beetles are the least of the problems with this product?Keep in mind that ignorant moms are feeding this stuff to their babies every single day! They think it's good for their babies because they don't take the time to read ingredient labels (or they are unable to understand what the labels mean). But make no mistake: I can't think of a single informed nutritionist who would recommend feeding babies a powder that's more than 50% sugar combined with genetically modified soy protein. To do so is actually nutritionalchild abuse in my view.That's why I say Similac should be recalled just based on what's on the label! In my opinion, this is a dangerous combination of sugars and genetically modified ingredients that are likely to promote diabetes, obesity and nutritional imbalances in babies. To feed this to babies is to nutritionally cause them harm, in my opinion... and to think that Abbott Laboratories is making money selling this sugared-up GMO soy protein to consumers just makes me sick.I think their slogan should be something like, "Similac - Creating tomorrow's diabetics, onebaby at a time."See the ingredients label yourself right here: http://naturalnews.com/images/Similac-Label-Ingredients.jpg

Help spread the wordPlease share this story and send it to moms, dads and anyone who has an infant. Don't let them feed their babies sugars and GMO soy protein!You have my permission to post this story in full, but please give credit back to this page on NaturalNews.com and cite Mike as the author.We need to reach all the parents who are buying Similac and unknowingly feeding their babies corn syrup solids, GMO soy protein, soy oil, sucrose and other ingredients that I consider to be "pure junk." No society should allow this junk to be fed to their babies, especially if they're trying to prevent obesity, diabetes, heart disease and other chronic health problems that are already bankrupting the nation.In my opinion, Similac might be the perfect product to raise a generation of Big Pharma customers who will need a whole battery of prescription drugs to "treat" all the degenerative health conditions caused by eating dead, processed, sugared-up and genetically modified foods. To imagine that this could somehow be a replacement for the rich, complex nutritional abundance of mother's milk is nutritionally insane.

Ridiculously overpricedWith Similac, there's also the price issue. Considering how cheap these ingredients are, this product seems ridiculously overpriced. If you really wanted to feed your baby something almost identical to this, you could just buy your own table sugar (cheaper than dirt), isolated soy protein (also cheaper than dirt), safflower oil (almost cheaper than dirt) and some coconut oil or flax oil (not so cheap, but you don't need to use much) then mix it all up and add water.But what mom in her right mind would do such a crazy thing?

I just had some the other day, Joy! It's very good, I buy raw goat's milk for my Cloey, and had some left over. It tastes like regular milk, creamy, but has a little bit of an off taste, not sweet like cow's milk, but not gamey either. It's pleasant cold for sure.We freeze ours. Putting it into a 1/2 gal plastic container, cause I buy 2 gallons at a time for the baby. I use one gal plastic milk container for one gal, so its fresh for baby, and the other 2 are 1/2 gallons that we freeze, take it out over night, put into refridge and thaw. Works very well this way.Yes,I want a goat too, but our land is way too small for that, we have to get our land set up for it, and I want 6 laying hens as well. I go through eggs like crazy, well now, that Matt does not live home it may be less. About 6 eggs a day I use, and that

does not include baking.The lady has nubian goats, only, she has this breed most of her life, and these are the ones that give her the most milk, there are alpine goats too, they are the bigger ones, this is the breed I had once in the late 70's. Her name of course was "Heidi"!Love MicheleFrom: Joyce Hudson <bjoyful@...>Subject: Re: [health] It's Not the bugs in Similac that make me sick - let's recall the other ingredients (opinion)health Date: Tuesday, September 28, 2010, 4:05 PM

They also throw in some DHA to make moms think it must somehow resemble breast milk fats.Are you beginning to see why the beetles are the least of the problems with this product?Keep in mind that ignorant moms are feeding this stuff to their babies every single day! They think it's good for their babies because they don't take the time to read ingredient labels (or they are unable to understand what the labels mean). But make no mistake: I can't think of a single informed nutritionist who would recommend feeding babies a powder that's more than 50% sugar combined with genetically modified soy protein. To do so is actually nutritionalchild abuse in my view.That's why I say Similac should be recalled just based on what's on the label! In my opinion, this is a dangerous combination of sugars and genetically modified ingredients that are likely to promote diabetes, obesity and nutritional imbalances in babies. To feed this to babies is to nutritionally cause them harm, in my opinion... and to think that Abbott Laboratories is making money selling this sugared-up GMO soy protein to consumers just makes me sick.I think their slogan should be something like, "Similac - Creating tomorrow's diabetics, onebaby at a time."See the ingredients label yourself right here: http://naturalnews.com/images/Similac-Label-Ingredients.jpg

No society should allow this junk to be fed to their babies, especially if they're trying to prevent obesity, diabetes, heart disease and other chronic health problems that are already bankrupting the nation.In my opinion, Similac might be the perfect product to raise a generation of Big Pharma customers who will need a whole battery of prescription drugs to "treat" all the degenerative health conditions caused by eating dead, processed, sugared-up and genetically modified foods. To imagine that this could somehow be a replacement for the rich, complex nutritional abundance of mother's milk is nutritionally insane.

Ridiculously overpricedWith Similac, there's also the price issue. Considering how cheap these ingredients are, this product seems ridiculously overpriced.

Yes, he was silly. I wondered if there was a wager. Whatever, I enjoyed watching him. He seemed free. :-)

[health] It's Not the bugs in Similac that make me sick - let's recall the other ingredients (opinion)

I am posting this article separate from all the rest Mike has put out today. I have found that similac from my own experience is one of the most unnoticed nutritional blunders of our time. I was a similac baby myself, back in 1959. So I can talk. I was a very fat over weight baby by the time I was 6 months old. I had pnuemonia, bronchitis, lung issues, tonsilitis, by the time I was 4 I had all these health issues and I was raised in Miami Beach, Florida, so it was not the weather. It was the formula I was raised on since the day I was born.

So by the time I became a mom I was smarter for it. I breast fed every one of my kids, all 4 of them. But my daughters were not so fortunate. My daughter could not feed her daughter any longer breast milk at a month old. So I had to help her decide what to do. Make a long story short, I found a source of raw goats milk for her. We put her on similac at first and she was so gassy, so unhappy, cried all the time, it was hard on her digestion. So I found the source for her locally so that she could have goats milk instead and all the symptoms went away. She is now about 17 lbs and has been drinking her goats milk for 4 months now. She is a happy little girl. Her digestion is perfect, she does not spit up much at all. Not like the similac.

Similac is pushed on low income families too. WIC pushing it, its the only one that they allow mothers to buy, which is sinful. criminal in my opinion.

SO if your baby is having a hard time digesting the similac or other formulas like it, make the switch, find a source of raw goats milk. It is 2nd to mother's milk. La Leche League recommends it as well.

Most doctors will tell you do not do this, conventional doctors anyway. They will scare you, telling you raw milk is bad for your baby. But similac is a lot worse. it makes your baby distorted looking too, fat, over weight, the soy is not good for baby period, it messes with the thyroid. The sugar you are giving your baby is unnecessary, and its HFCS too, remember that Corn Sugar is disquised thanks to the FDA not protecting us, and our children.

Babies do not need sugar at this point in their lives. But the Big Pharma industry is counting on you to buy this for your baby to start the whole cycle of people on Big Pharma drugs. From Cradle to the grave.

(NaturalNews) It has been a few days since Abbott Laboratories, makers of Similac infant formula, issued a recall after discovering some of its products may have been contaminated with beetles (and beetle larvae). The mainstream media ran with this story and parents everywhere suddenly got concerned that their babies might be drinking beetle parts.But are beetles really the scariest thing in Similac? Not by a long shot if you know anything about nutrition.I purchased a 24-oz container of Similac Go & Grow soy-based formula, emblazoned with a cute teddy bear on the front label and positioned towards "9 to 24 months." It comes with the claim "balanced nutrition for older babies." But is it really balanced nutrition?

42.6% corn syrup solidsThe very first ingredient, shown right on the label, is 42.6% CORN SYRUP SOLIDS.I took a picture of the ingredients label so you can see it for yourself. Click here to see the pic:http://naturalnews.com/images/Similac-Label-Ingredients.jpgStop right there. Are they saying that Similac infant formula is 42.6% corn syrup solids? That's a form of highly processed sugar. Is this really what infants need -- nearly half their formula to be made of corn syrup sugars? Nutritionists would strongly disagree.But it gets even better: The next ingredient is 14.7% SOY PROTEIN ISOLATE. Most soy protein, as NaturalNews readers already know, is derived from a hexane chemical extraction process that we've covered in previous articles:http://www.naturalnews.com/026303_soy_protein_hexane.htmlBeyond the hexane question, did you know that 91% of the soy fields grown in America containgenetically modified soy? The Similac can does not say "non-GMO soy" because it's not required to be put on the label (thanks to the FDA shell game). But Consumer Reportsactually bought and tested infant formula for genetically engineered DNA and found that Similac was using GMO soy in their products. (http://www.consumersunion.org/food/gefny999.htm)The next ingredient in the Similac can I bought is 11.5% HIGH OLEIC SAFFLOWER OIL, followed by 10.1% SUGAR (SUCROSE).If you're doing the math on this, that makes Similac 52.7% sugar (corn syrup solids plus the sucrose) with soy protein. I can hardly think of a better way to raise diabetic, obese children than to feed them a diet that's over 50 percent sugar. It also seems like a great way to get infants addicted to sugar -- a curse that will haunt them through the rest of their lives.Next on the list is 8.4% SOY OIL (most likely from GMO soybeans, too) and then 7.8% COCONUT OIL (which is, in my opinion, the only healthy ingredient in the entire product).Basically, then, this Similac product is sugared-up soy protein with safflower and soy oil.Plus it has some chemical "vitamins" on the label such as CYANOCOBALAMIN, the cheapest form of vitamin B-12 available to food manufacturers. It actually binds the vitamin to a cyanide molecule, just in case you were wondering.As wikipedia explains, "B12 refers to a group of cobalt-containing vitamer compounds known as cobalamins: these include cyanocobalamin (an artifact formed as a result of the use of cyanide in the purification procedures)."It then adds, "the cyanocobalamin form of B12 does not occur in nature normally, but is a byproduct of the fact that other forms of B12 are avid binders of cyanide (-CN) which they pick up in the process of activated charcoal purification of the vitamin after it is made by bacteria in the commercial process. Since the cyanocobalamin form of B12 is easy to crystallize and is not sensitive to air-oxidation, it is typically used as a form of B12 for food additives and in many common multivitamins."

I want a goat or cow and some chickens, too. But Dad says no. I even researched it awhile back. 1 cow needs 2 areas of land, to graze. Dad is against having any farm animals. Wish I could win the lottery! I would buy a small farm!!! :-)

Thanks for the info on the goat. Think I will try it.

yes, a cow needs more land to graze on. Bigger animal. Goats are perfect b/c they only need a small piece of land, and they are great for weeding the land too. They don't make holes in the earth the way the cows do, with their big heavy bodies.I wanted a goat too when my grand daughter needed the milk now, and it's getting expensive per month. But Greg says we are not set up for a goat, we have coyotes, cougars, raccoons, that roam the area and make mischief.The goat lady told me the other day, that a cougar came around our area and got a hold of a deer, and ate it in front of a house, where people were yelling at it and throwing things at the cougar so that the big cat would stop, but the Cat was too hungry and just ate the deer in front of their home. So the goat lady has been up at night

listening, she is worried.She has a special goat dog, a very big large white dog, that lives in the goat pens with the goats. To keep the goats safe. Well I hope you get what you want, Joy..does your dad like to drink milk, probably the raw goats milk would be very helpful to his skin and his other aliments.PS you were mentioning something about some sort of "goat sharing" in your area? This is a good way too, though hopefully its not too far from you, perhaps you can find something a bit closer to you.Love Michele

Moose milk, now who would have thought of that! I am glad some of the Russian farmers did.

It's being very difficult for me to get raw milk. There aren't any dairy farmers around Louisville, any more. The ones that were listed on google, have retired. I have to drive to Indianna, which is about an hour drive. It's delivered on Thursday and they are out by Saturday. They won't hold any for me, either. I am thinking about buying a goat. There's a farm in Indianna that will take care of your goat and you can get milk that way.

What does goat milk taste like?

It also seems like a great way to get infants addicted to sugar -- a curse that will haunt them through the rest of their lives.Next on the list is 8.4% SOY OIL (most likely from GMO soybeans, too) and then 7.8% COCONUT OIL (which is, in my opinion, the only healthy ingredient in the entire product).Basically, then, this Similac product is sugared-up soy protein with safflower and soy oil.Plus it has some chemical "vitamins" on the label such as CYANOCOBALAMIN, the cheapest form of vitamin B-12 available to food manufacturers. It actually binds the vitamin to a cyanide molecule, just in case you were wondering.As wikipedia explains, "B12 refers to a group of cobalt-containing vitamer compounds known as cobalamins: these include cyanocobalamin (an artifact formed as a result of the use of cyanide in the purification procedures)."It then adds, "the cyanocobalamin form of B12 does not occur in nature normally, but is a byproduct of the fact that other forms of B12 are avid binders of cyanide (-CN) which they pick up in the process of activated charcoal purification of the vitamin after it is made by bacteria in the commercial process. Since the cyanocobalamin form of B12 is easy to crystallize and is not sensitive to air-oxidation, it is typically used as a form of B12 for food additives and in many common multivitamins."

Why Similac should have been recalled long before the beetle incidentWith this in mind, what we really have with Similac infant formula is powered sugars, genetically modified soy protein, more sugar, safflower and soy oils, a bit of coconut oil and some vitamin chemicals made with cyanide molecules. They also throw in some DHA to make moms think it must somehow resemble breast milk fats.Are you beginning to see why the beetles are the least of the problems with this product?Keep in mind that ignorant moms are feeding this stuff to their babies every single day! They think it's good for their babies because they don't take the time to read ingredient labels (or they are unable to understand what the labels mean). But make no mistake: I can't think of a single informed nutritionist who would recommend feeding babies a powder that's more than 50% sugar combined with genetically modified soy protein. To do so is actually nutritionalchild abuse in my view.That's why I say Similac should be recalled just based on what's on the label! In my opinion, this is a dangerous combination of sugars and genetically modified ingredients that are likely to promote diabetes, obesity and nutritional imbalances in babies. To feed this to babies is to nutritionally cause them harm, in my opinion... and to think that Abbott Laboratories is making money selling this sugared-up GMO soy protein to consumers just makes me sick.I think their slogan should be something like, "Similac - Creating tomorrow's diabetics, onebaby at a time."See the ingredients label yourself right here: http://naturalnews.com/images/Similac-Label-Ingredients.jpg

Help spread the wordPlease share this story and send it to moms, dads and anyone who has an infant. Don't let them feed their babies sugars and GMO soy protein!You have my permission to post this story in full, but please give credit back to this page on NaturalNews.com and cite Mike as the author.We need to reach all the parents who are buying Similac and unknowingly feeding their babies corn syrup solids, GMO soy protein, soy oil, sucrose and other ingredients that I consider to be "pure junk." No society should allow this junk to be fed to their babies, especially if they're trying to prevent obesity, diabetes, heart disease and other chronic health problems that are already bankrupting the nation.In my opinion, Similac might be the perfect product to raise a generation of Big Pharma customers who will need a whole battery of prescription drugs to "treat" all the degenerative health conditions caused by eating dead, processed, sugared-up and genetically modified foods. To imagine that this could somehow be a replacement for the rich, complex nutritional abundance of mother's milk is nutritionally insane.

Ridiculously overpricedWith Similac, there's also the price issue. Considering how cheap these ingredients are, this product seems ridiculously overpriced. If you really wanted to feed your baby something almost identical to this, you could just buy your own table sugar (cheaper than dirt), isolated soy protein (also cheaper than dirt), safflower oil (almost cheaper than dirt) and some coconut oil or flax oil (not so cheap, but you don't need to use much) then mix it all up and add water.But what mom in her right mind would do such a crazy thing? No mom in her right mind would mix up 50% table sugar in a bottle and feed it to her baby, but that's essentially what she's doing when feeding her baby this variety of Similac that I purchased.Nutritional insanity has reached a new low with Similac, I submit, and the beetles are the least of the problems with this product line that borders on "nutritional child abuse."There should seriously be a law against infant formula being made with corn syrup solids and sucrose, not to mention GMO ingredients.Spread the word, folks. That's the only way people will find out the truth about this and start choosing something that's healthier for their babies. If we hope to have healthy adults in the future, we have to stop nutritionally abusing them when they're infants.
