IPad apps Posted by: "Jen Bolduc" jhunter5431@... jezecasmom Wed Apr 13, 2011 10:36 am (PDT) Hi everyone, I am looking for apps for my daughter to use on her new IPad! She has limited speech and I'm looking for something for her to use to communicate. Is there any apps out there that you all just love and can't live without? That is what I'm looking for. I'm also just learning to use it so if you have any suggestions on using the Ipad, let me know. Thank you Bolduc Mom to Jezeca, Trisomy 10q and 5p- and to Zephany, Ds Back to top Reply to sender | Reply to group | Reply via web post Messages in this topic (1) 2. Baby Foods Contain Arsenic, Toxic Metals Posted by: "aliasliora" lioracc@... lioracc Thu Apr 14, 2011 3:06 am (PDT) Baby Foods Contain Arsenic, Toxic Metals <http://www.naturalproductsmarketplace.com/news/2011/04/baby-foods-contain-arsenic-toxic-elements.aspx > STOCKHOLM-Infant formulas and foods may be posing a risk to developing babies, according to Swedish researchers who warned of the potentially adverse effects of elevated toxic and essential metal concentrations in infant formulas and foods in a new study published in the journal of Food Chemistry (J Food Chem. 2011 Aug 1;127(3):943- 951 DOI:10.1016/ j.foodchem. 2011.01.062) . The study, led by Karin Ljung, Unit of Metals and Health, Institute of Environmental Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, assessed concentrations in and intake of toxic and essential elements from formulas and foods intended for infants during their first 6 months of life. The researchers tested nine different brands of baby food and nine baby milk formulas. Companies represented in the sample include major players, such as [and I separate and bold, for emphasis, text unchanged ~Liora] ORGANIX, HIPP, NESTLE, HEINZ AND HOLLE In formula, they focused on concentrations of the essential elements calcium, iron, zinc, manganese and molybdenum and found all were significantly higher in most formulas than in breast milk. Daily intake of manganese from formula varies from 10 up to several hundred times the intake of the breast-fed infant, levels that may be associated with adverse health effects, they reported. Next, they looked at baby food and found one portion of infant food provided significantly more iron, manganese, molybdenum, arsenic, cadmium (up to 150 times), lead (up to eight times) and uranium than one feeding of breast milk, but less calcium, copper and selenium. Rice-based products in particular contained elevated arsenic concentrations, some as high as 50 times higher than breast milk. They also noted if one adds drinking water, which is the usual way to prepare the mix powdered formula, it may add significantly to the concentrations of the elements in the ready-made products.

According to an article in the Telegraph, this study prompted the Swedish National Food Administration to conduct its own review of toxic elements and metals in baby food and food for older children, and the results will be reported to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the European Commission, which is responsible for setting food safety limits in Europe.
