DHA and ARA in Infant Formula
Since 2002, infant formula manufacturers in the United
States have produced and sold products fortified with docosahexaenoic acid
and arachidonic acid (DHA/ARA). These
polyunsaturated omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are important components of
the human brain and eyes and are naturally
present in human breast milk. Since breast milk is the gold
standard for infant nutrition, the addition of DHA and ARA in
infant formula might very well be beneficial.
What is troublesome, however, is that some infant formulas contain DHA- and
ARA-containing oils that are novel
foods—extracted from laboratory-grown fermented algae and
fungus and processed utilizing a toxic chemical, hexane. These
algal and fungal oils provide DHA and ARA in forms that are
structurally different from those naturally found in human
milk. These manufactured oils are known as DHASCO and
ARASCO, which stand for docosahexaenoic acid single cell oil
and arachidonic acid single cell oil.
These oils are produced by Martek Biosciences Corporation and appear to be
added to infant formula primarily as a
marketing tool designed to convince parents that formula is
now “as close as ever to breast milk.” Substantiating this thesis is a
Martek investment promotion from 1996, which reads
as follows: “Even if [the DHA/ARA blend] has no benefit, we
think it would be widely incorporated into formulas, as a marketing tool and
to allow companies to promote their formula as ‘closest
to human milk [emphasis added].”
