In this study examining the presence of toxic metals in infant formula, all 40 samples tested positive for concerning levels of heavy metals, specifically aluminum and lead. Each type of formula was tested twice, yielding 20 distinct formula types in total. Here is a breakdown of the findings:
Aluminum: Detected in 100% of the samples, with levels ranging from 1.61 ppm to 41.0 ppm. At 41,000 ppb, aluminum levels in a goat’s milk formula were 4,000 – 40,000 time higher than other metals in the tested formulas and exceed limits set by the FDA for maximum safety level of aluminum in parenteral nutrition for a premie.
Lead: Also present in 100% of the samples, with concentrations ranging from 0.208 ppb to 8.36 ppb.
Arsenic, cadmium, and mercury: Detected in a significant number of samples, posing additional risks. 57% of the samples tested positive for arsenic, 55% for mercury, and 35% for cadmium.
Levels of mercury in 4 samples measured above the limit allowed by the FDA in drinking water.
