It is fascinating to watch the melamine scare spread. Formula, artificial baby milk, has frequent recalls/notifications of variations in formulations, contaminations of its numerous synthetic or highly processed ingredients, etc. and yet it gets a pass by the public. The formula companies have convinced the public that their product is safe, even in the face of overwhelming evidence that formula lowers intelligence, and increases infections and the incidence of numerous degenerative and autoimmune diseases. The most destructive impact of formula on infants is the disruption of the gut flora. Studies show that one feeding with formula will have a lasting impact to make the gut flora inflammatory. Formula is the opposite of prebiotic, it is pro-inflammatory. There is a reason that the World Health Organization condemns advertising of formula. The US is one of the few countries that permits this advertising.

I think there are some companies promoting test kits to individuals, which isn’t right, but there are legitimate firms working for regulatory authorities who are doing nothing wrong, they will simply benefit when food scares arise.

On the one hand, Save the Children UK using this recent health scare to promote their own agenda is morally permissible. But for chemical analysis companies to capitalize is, for me at least, a little strange.
