2021 – A U.S. Congressional Subcommittee report found that many popular baby food products from several brands contained “dangerously high levels” of mercury, lead, cadmium, and arsenic. These are toxic heavy metals found in food for infants! These foods, including rice cakes, rice cereal, teething biscuits, and purees, amongst others, from Happy Family Organics, Gerber, Hain Celestial (Earth’s Best Organic), Beech-Nut, Plum Organics, Walmart (Parent’s Choice), and Sprout Organic Food, were sold knowingly. These companies knew the baby food products were tainted, and they sold them anyway.
Heavy Metals Linked to Behavioral Impairment
Many studies link exposure to toxic heavy metals to behavioral impairments, especially in babies and young children, as their brains are still developing. Even low levels of heavy metals can cause irreparable damage to neurological development in children. The only safe amount of heavy metals? Zero.
Arsenic is linked to lung and bladder cancer; damage to the central nervous system, brain and cognitive development; immunological effects; IQ deficit; autism spectrum disorder; decrease in global motor, gross motor, and fine motor skills.
Linked to decreases in IQ; development of autism spectrum disorder, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Linked to behavioral problems; autism spectrum disorder; decreased cognitive performance; delayed puberty; reduced postnatal growth; damage to the central nervous system and brain development; adverse effect on academic ability and achievement with lower reading and math scores; significant association with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Linked to adverse subsequent neuro-development; autism spectrum disorder; poorer estimated IQ; and associated with autistic behaviors among preschool children.
