Comment on Baby Foods Are Tainted with Dangerous Levels of Heavy Metals [pdf]parent

Comments

Babies are at much higher risk than adults are. High amounts of lead as a child can significantly cripple your brain, while the same exposure as an adult has reduced (but considerable) effects.

I get that. The question is whether there are the same high levels on all foods, or there is something very wrong on baby food pipelines only. And which food types are the most affected, which I didn't manage to understand from a cursory look at the document.

Hard to say. It could be the supply chains used for baby foods. It could have to do with the additional processing of baby foods concentrating the contaminants or making them more readily accessible.
