我开始想买这个牌子的来着,star很多,看着也不错。后来读了下review。
看到这个只给一分的review,下面跟帖的好多人都说看了以后不敢买了:
1.0 out of 5 stars Parents, be aware: contains neurotoxic chemicals that
definitely AREN'T organic!, March 17, 2010
By
Concerned Parent
This review is from: HAPPYBELLIES Organic Super Cereals, DHA, pre &
Probiotics + Choline, Organic Brown Rice Cereal, 7-Ounce Canisters (Pack of
6) (Grocery)
Parents, before buying this stuff, do quick Google search for The Cornucopia
Institute's report entitled "Replacing Mother - Imitating Human Breast Milk
in the Laboratory" or follow this link: [...]
This Happy Bellies rice cereal contains Martek Corporation's laboratory-
produced oils containing DHA and ARA. As we all know by now, DHA and ARA are
considered important nutrients for rapidly developing infants. But
laboratory-produced DHASCO and ARASCO (Martek's names for their proprietary
oils) are materially different from the fats found in a mother's breast milk
. Martek's products are extracted from fermented algae and fungus, with the
use of the synthetic solvent hexane, a neurotoxic chemical. They contain
only 40 to 50% DHA and ARA, with the balance being sunflower oil,
diglycerides, and nonsaponifiable materials.
These components are not found in human breast milk, and the triglycerides
carrying DHA and ARA are not identical to
those found in human breast milk, and have never been part of the diet for
human infants. Most frighteningly, neurotoxic chemicals -- which are NOT
organic in any way -- are used to manufacture these oils. These oils are not
organic, are not regulated or approved by the USDA or FDA, and are added in
violation of federal organic regulation.
The authors of the report investigated how a toxic chemical is used as
processing agents in the manufacturing process, the inadequate testing for
safety, and most importantly, how some infants are experiencing serious
adverse reactions from consuming formula and foods supplemented with these
oils.
"This report presents a disturbing look at the addition of novel ingredients
into infant formula," says Marsha Walker, Executive Director of the
National Alliance for Breastfeeding Advocacy. "The FDA has received scores
of reports on the adverse effects of these ingredients, but, to date, the
public's only access to these is through Cornucopia's Freedom of Information
Act request. This report will help alert the health care community and
federal agencies to some of the adverse effects of added DHA and ARA in
infant formulas."
然后又看了下别的,大概说这个也不一定有什么问题,正犹豫着要不要下单呢,看到了
他们家CEO的回复:
Shazi Visram says:
Hello, I am the founder and CEO of HAPPYBABY. The article cited here is
absolutely not correct. Our company is socially responsible in all that we
do, and we are dedicated to creating only the best products for our children
. While we do source our DHA which is made from algae from a company called
Martek, we only source DHA that has never been treated with hexane or
anything potentially harmful. The information in this report is simply
untrue and I suggest you contact us regarding any questions around our
ingredients and sourcing as we take great care to provide only the safest
and best products for babies. Sincerely, Shazi Visram, mom to 3 Month Old
Zane whose first bites will be our HAPPYBELLIES brown rice cereal.
本来都被说服了,可是我太种族歧视了,发现他们家CEO这个名字是印度名字,马上就
没买了。
