LOL! And 60 MILLIGRAMS of Copper! " We're from the government and we're here to

help. " First, they don't know what they are talking about; then when they try

to reduce it to writing they get it all wrong.

It seems that those are the requirements for a "batch" and there is no apparent info on what a batch is, so we don't have any idea how many servings or bottles are in a batch. I'm sure when it comes down to the serving we would find almost no nutrients in the formula at all.

My Granddaughter was on Similac till an allergy to it was diagnosed by her

doctor. It claimed to contain 6 mcg per 100 calories. The Soy milk that she was

transferred to claims 15 mcg per 100 calories (5 fl ounces after preparation)

Footnote a at the bottom states " a Stated per 100 kilocalories. "

A kilocalorie is 1000 calories, so this would be per 100,000 calories.

Until I saw that I was thinkin' it was crazy too, and saw a major niacin flush

coming with 250 mg. But I now note that the magnesium is woefully low. *sigh*

Hello everyone. This may clear things up, a kilocalorie is truly 1 calorie on

food labels. Here's a link for reference

http://www.calorie-counter.net/kilocalories-kcals.htm

And it reads - A kilocalorie is a unit of energy - it's 1 food calorie, or 1,000

energy calories. It's the energy necessary to raise the temperature of 1 kg of

water by 1° Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit).

Be careful of giving soy to a child.

I used to make a great baby formula for my son using a recipe I got from Paavo

Airola's book " Every Woman " . It's an old classic, but still around. The recipe

called for goat's milk and water, 1:1, adding milk sugar (lactose), flax seed

oil and something else, I can't remember (my son is now 17).

I did breast feed but had to supplement as I wasn't able to make enough milk.

my grandson is 15 months old he was given 1 or 2 bottles of formula in hosp. then was breast fed. we decided he would not drink formula full of corn syrup solids and other stuff. He has drank whole powdered milk since 4 or 5 months he is healthy. our family is predisposed to be diabetics and obese so why start he out to be fat.. my daughter steam fresh veg and fruit and made his baby food. no added sugar. gov would say he was deprived if vit etc, we say he was deprived of junk.
