Organic Baby Food – Reasons Behind Why You Would Make the Switch

Filed Under (Diet) by Julie Andrews on 12-03-2010

Most parents shop the baby aisle of their health food or grocery store looking for baby food, see organic baby food and then purchase their preferred brand, or the one they have a coupon for, without giving it another thought. Most of us grew up on regular baby food and we are, more or less, healthy and whole. Having suffered no evident negative effects from commercial varieties, it can’t be that bad, right? However, it’s less about what you grew up with and more about raising a healthy baby in a world where hormones, pesticides and other chemicals in food are the norm. As we are all too aware, today’s world is not the one we grew up in. Do chemicals found in the baby foods really affect your child’s health? Many people mistakenly believe that chemicals in our food are digested and expelled as waste; however, in reality, they get absorbed by the body and accumulate. It is safe to assume that, if it happens in adults it happens in babies, too. When babies who had been fed a diet of regular baby foods were switched to organic baby food, the noticeable levels of pesticides and fertilizers that had been present in their bodies reportedly disappeared. While the adverse effects of chemicals haven’t yet been proven harmful to children, the possibility does exist that they could damage a baby’s internal organs or cause health problems later in life. While changes in your baby may not be noticeable once you have stopped feeding them commercial baby food and shifted to organic, your baby will notice the change.

Unlike adults, babies’ bodies use food for survival and growth. Babies and children eat substantially more food per pound of body weight than adults; they also process food differently. Some studies have found that pesticides and other chemicals have a significantly greater impact on children than adults. While you will notice organic baby food costs more when compared with standard commercial brands, you can reduce the cost without affecting your baby’s health. Various traditionally grown foods, including bananas, broccoli, mangos and sweet peas, contain very low levels of pesticides and are safe for consumption by your baby. Switch to organic baby food for foods containing high levels of pesticides including apples, strawberries and spinach. To save even more, make your own! Buy or grow organic vegetables so that you know what is going into your baby’s system. If you need help with preparation tips or baby food recipes, a simple search on the internet will yield hundreds of options. In our modern day society, children seem to get sicker more often and tend toward obesity. For these reasons alone, it’s a good idea to get your child to start eating healthy food as early as possible. The best way to do that is by feeding them organic food from their first bite of baby produce without the hidden dangers of pesticides. Feeding your child good, wholesome foods will set them up for a long, healthy life with good eating habits.

Global Baby Food Market (2009–2014)
 
 Baby food is a nutritional supplement of breast milk for babies aged from zero to three years. Their availability in both states-solid and liquid and with various tastes and flavors adds to their easy acceptance by both parents and babies alike. Time constraint in modern parents, both in developed as well as developing countries, have dwindled the home-made baby food and has swung the baby food diet in favor of commercially available baby food. The U.S. and Europe hold a major share of the global baby food market. However, emerging economies such as China, India, Brazil, Russia, and Romania also represent a high growth rate. As people across the globe are getting aware of the important role of baby foods in meeting the nutrient requirements of a baby, there is a huge boost in the market.

Baby Food for Adults

Filed Under (Diet) by Julie Andrews on 12-03-2010

WHEN you buy a quart of milk at the market, it is not likely that you think of it as baby food. That, of course, is actually what it is. Nevertheless, milk has become a popular adult food, being used in cooking and in various drinks. But is this baby food really good for adults?

The milk you are most familiar with is, no doubt, cow’s milk. There are countries, however, where the people are accustomed to using milk from other types of animals. Goat’s milk, for example, is popular in the countries around the Mediterranean Sea as well as in Norway, Switzerland, Latin America and in parts of Asia and Africa. In Arctic regions people use milk from horses and reindeer. Sheep milk is popular in Spain and Italy. In India and the Philippine Republic the use of water-buffalo milk is not uncommon, and in South America llama milk is used.

No matter what type of milk is used, however, it can be dangerous. Why is this? Because it is easily contaminated by disease-producing bacteria and is an ideal medium in which they can rapidly multiply. Diseases such as tuberculosis, undulant fever, typhoid fever, septic sore throat, scarlet fever and diphtheria can be spread by milk.

Safeguarding Milk

So, if you use milk, it is important that you use only milk that is clean. When you bring it home put it in a cold place. This is necessary so as to prevent bacteria from multiplying too rapidly. Do not pour it into unclean containers or expose it to flies and dust as that could introduce undesirable bacteria.

Milk companies try to protect you by sterilizing their milk containers and by pasteurizing the milk. This is a process in which the milk is heated to 143 degrees Fahrenheit and held there for thirty minutes. The heat kills most of the bacteria, making the milk relatively safe for use. However, in order to kill all of the bacteria and spores, the milk would have to be sterilized as is done with evaporated and condensed milk, and that requires much higher temperatures. Many people dislike the flavor of sterilized milk.

Some persons have objections to pasteurized milk because the heat used in pasteurizing it decreases the amount of vitamin C and vitamin B1 in the milk and destroys the useful lactic acid bacteria. As much as 15 percent of the vitamin-B1 content is destroyed by the heat. Raw milk, on the other hand, may have the vitamins, but it also has a greater potential for carrying dangerous bacteria. Extra care is required to make it safe.

Although milk is not a perfect food, it is a most complete food. It contains about fifty different substances. There are, however, several elements necessary for growth that are lacking in milk, such as copper, iron, iodine and manganese.

When comparing human milk with cow’s milk a pronounced difference can be noted. Human milk has two or three times as much vitamin C as cow’s milk. It also has one and a half times as much milk sugar. On the other hand, cow’s milk contains more casein and ash. This is a factor to consider when feeding an infant.

Even when cow’s milk has been altered by adding more milk sugar, it still is no substitute for human milk. Cane sugar is not the same as milk sugar, thus the use of cane sugar does not really bring the sugar content of cow’s milk closer to that of human milk. The needs of a baby are best met by human milk, not cow’s milk. Also, when fed from the breast a baby gets the full value of the vitamin C in the milk because the milk is not exposed to air, which causes this vitamin to be destroyed by oxidation.
