Similac- Abbott Nutrition: Eliminate corn syrup and sugar as key ingredients their baby formula
The Issue
After having my son, I received a Similac sample of baby formula. I scanned the ingredients and was shocked to see that the #1 and #2 ingredients were corn syrup and sugar.
With the obesity epidemic on the forefront, I find it very alarming that Similac is selling formula that contains high fructose corn solids and sugar as the #1 and #2 ingredients.
This is ridiculous and also very alarming for the health of our nation. A foundation for a healthy diet starts with babies. If we are providing our children with foods that are known to contribute to diabetes, obesity and other health complications, then we ensuring a very compromised health for America.
Please join me in asking Similac/Abbott Nutrition to kindly remove corn syrup, corn syrup solids and sugar from their baby formula/foods.
