what do we use to make infant formula we use the standard levels of linoleic acid so all of our babies from mothers who can't breastfeed or choose not to breastfeed are being fed formulas which are extra high in linoleic acid
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
so that's soybean oil super high in linoleic acid soybean oil fed to rats and monkeys makes them behave very badly why are we feeding it to infants
even if a baby is not fed infant formula if the mother is eating excess seed oils in your diet it gets passed into the breast milk and the composition of breast milk changes based on what the mother's eating and if the mother's eating more linoleic acid from seed oils whether it's corn canola Sapphire sunflower whatever soybean it gets there's more in the breast milk
they make they make the infant formula a mimic a mirror of the breast milk of westernized mothers who are eating tons of linoleic acid
almost every baby formula I've ever seen in the grocery store even those that are marketed as healthy or alternative or goat milk formulas contain seed oils because we are trying to match the amount of linoleic acid in the breast milk of mothers

the number one selling brand of infant formula in the country is full of seed oils look at this safflower oil and soybean oil these are some of the worst seed oils when it comes to high levels of linolic acid
infant formula you told me something last night that blew my mind right talk to me about seed oils in infant formula
and the soybean Lobby actually successfully uh made it law that every baby formula in the United States has to have seed oils that is a requirement
if you look at the lenic acid composition of breast milk it's gone up steadily in the last 100 years oh yes in connection with the fact that we're eating more cedil
and the soybean Lobby actually successfully uh made it law that every baby formula in the United States has to have seed oils that is a requirement the the uh ingredients of baby formulas are highly highly regulated
