I think what is often missing from these conversations about childhood obesity is the examination of the very 1st food that we give our children. The impact of giving formula to our children vs. formula is huge. Not only is the 2nd ingredient in most formulas high fructose corn syrup or its equivalent but research has shown that formula feeding our babies will increase the likely hood that those children will get Diabetes (both type I and 2), heart disease, cancer, asthma, I could go on and on. When will we start really supporting women and giving families the information and resources to make that important early choice for their children that will impact them for the rest of their life.
