Re: Transfats in Breastmilk

[Guest guest]

According to Enig, trans fats are not formed from heating vegetable oils.

Even though breast milk contains other fats, studies have shown, for

example, that babies nursed off mothers eating trans fats have lowered

visual acuity. That's one of the first studies done, back in the

1950s I think! Mother's have a responsiblity not to eat trans fats

when they are pregnant or nursing IMO, but to say that this somehow

justifies a ban on the nutrition facts for baby foods is asanine.

Although, really, parents can just not buy baby foods with " partially

hydrogenated vegetable oil " in the listing.

Or make their own! I thought it would be soooooo inconveinent but it was so

EASY!! 1 easy way is to make some BIG batches and freeze in individual size

portions (those tiny tiny canning jars that hold about 1/3 of a cup are

great!). Then we borrowed (but you can buy them very inexpensivly) this

little grinder that we'd just put in a few scoops of what we were eating and

crank, instant baby food with NO prior prep at all (except making dinner

which of course I was doing anyway). Instant NT baby food!!! Hey, there's a

little side job, making homemade, healthy frozen baby foods to sell!

So typical -- they keep changing the subject to whether and how much

trans-fats are dangerous, when the point is that they should be

labeled so the consumer can know what they are buying and make their

own decisions! Also, the formulas are bad for babies anyway, for more

than their trans-fat content. I know my own mother did the best she

could, but she couldn't nurse, and we had powdered formulas, and I was

given soy milk -- no telling how much that contributed to my current

health problems.
