Background song is "Open Our Eyes Lord."

Mommy goes shopping with the baby she loves for the best baby food available at the supermarket. She wants her infant to have a "balanced diet" so she buys four jars with meat, four jars with vegetables, and four jars with fruit. She selects baby food made by a well-known major manufacturer. She is so happy and pleased that she can afford to buy anything she wants in the baby food department. She doesn't know that the "balanced diet" she has selected will make her baby very sick over time unless she provides other food higher in fats and protein. She doesn't realize that while nursing her baby was receiving a diet with 50 to 57% of calories from fat, but the infant will only receive 8% fat from the food she is about to purchase. The following nutritional data was copied directly from the baby food jars.

Pureed food 'isn't natural for babies' - Guardian Unlimited - June 15, 2007.

Commercial baby food is grossly deficient in protein and fat

Many baby books, websites and the official government publications in all English-speaking nations recommend feeding babies rice cereal, fruit juice, fruit, and vegetables as a replacement for a reduction in breast milk or baby formula. This is a very bad practice. These foods are basically all carbohydrates. The infant has a corresponding drop in proteins and fats which are essential for good health and growth. The baby's muscles, bones, brain, and all other structures are built from protein and fat eaten by the baby, not from carbohydrates.

Homemade Baby Formula

Note: I don't accept the raw milk suggestion in the above homemade formula sourse because it is impossible for a mother to get raw milk from cows that have been tested for bacteria and to obtain fresh raw milk that has not been contaminated. Whole milk (full fat) and whole cream from the supermarket would be OK as a base, or better yet from a special dairy store. Then add Carlson's Lemon Flavored cod liver oil and NOW colloidal minerals, say 1/4 cap full per day divided dose plus baby vitamins. A home made formula could be easily prepared that is much better than store formula that has undesirable vegetable oils and undesirable sugars. The whole milk also has cholesterol that is a MUST for baby's growing brain.

Enfamil Tri-Vi-Sol Vitamins A, D & C Supplement Drops for Infants

Another popular baby food is "Organic Whole Grain Brown Rice Cereal for Baby." Doesn't the name sound absolutely wholesome and healthy for your baby? Unfortunately, most moms don't know the difference between good food and bad food for their baby, and they don't understand healthy nutritional requirements. Your baby will die if this brown rice cereal were all the baby is fed. This is not an exaggeration. Your baby would be DEAD. Mother's breast milk will grow a healthy, happy baby because it is 57% fat. The brown rice cereal has no fat, zero, none. The brown rice cereal has 12 grams of carbohydrates but only one gram of protein; Therefore, the baby would also be protein deficient. The brown rice cereal is mostly carbohydrates, but the scientific requirement of carbohydrates for babies is zero. Fats are a scientific requirement for humans, not carbohydrates.

'Cereals don't deserve to be called food.'

The baby may stop nursing himself before the tenth month. In these cases, the mother should use a breast pump to continue feeding the baby with breast milk in a bottle until the correct nourishment can be obtained from table foods. The baby can then be fed wholesome meat, fowl, fish, seafood, and fats by grinding or smashing home-cooked table foods. See the information below about homemade baby formula which can be given to the baby when the mother does not have breast milk available.

Commercial baby food is outrageously inflated with carbohydrates

Commercial infant foods have an excessive amount of sugars of various types. Fruits and fruit juices in baby food jars and cans are totally devoid of fat and contain a very small amount of protein, but they are extremely high in carbohydrates in the form of fructose, a sugar. Baby food vegetables are devoid of fat and have very little protein or carbohydrates. Vegetables are very good as a source of vitamins and minerals, but otherwise, vegetables are like placing your baby on a very low-calorie diet. Vegetables have very few calories. The infant needs calories from fats. The infant needs foods with a similar percentage of protein and fats as was available in the mother's breast milk which is more than 50% fats and 25% protein.

The Low-Fat Diet Can Reduce Mother's Breast Milk

A male friend said, "A thin friend of ours could not produce breast milk to feed any of her children. My spouse recommended she eat butter. She immediately started producing milk and was able to nurse her third child. She still remains thin to this day, however. She ate a stick of butter per day. It really worked. Everyone around were amazed and shocked that she would eat so much butter and have such a dramatic health benefit. It wasn't even organic!

Three-Year-Old Dies From Obesity

Childhood Obesity - Other infants start on the road to insulin resistance when given the standard high-carbohydrate diet. This has been proven to be the root cause of childhood and adult obesity, diabetes, allergies, and heart disease. The high-carbohydrate infant foods are setting the child up for a lifetime of health problems.

Children need even more exercise to ward off heart disease - BBC News July 20, 2006.

"Children should do at least 90 minutes exercise each day, experts say. Writing in The Lancet, they say children should up their activity levels in order to ward off heart disease and obesity."

The above news report blaming obesity and future heart disease on the lack of exercise in children is pure nonsense. The study should have compared the amount of carbohydrates in the diet to find the true cause of obesity and heart disease. Another false claim suggests that artery deposits increase slowly year after year in people who do not get enough exercise. The true cause of obesity and heart disease is a diet high in carbohydrate foods such as whole grains, fruit, and sugar. The low-fat diet proponents are using the amount of exercise as the scapegoat for their disastrous diet recommendations.

Autism - Scientists are finally starting to speak out against the vegetarian diet, but voices are severely suppressed. Research money is simply withdrawn from any scientist who might study the deficiencies of the vegetarian diet. The fetus can be severely damaged in the womb when the mother eats a deficient vegetarian diet. Growing babies and infants can be seriously harmed by the vegetarian diet, leading to death in severe cases. Autism was virtually unknown in 1980 at less than 1 in 5000. Now autism has surged to 1 in every 115 babies due to the matching surge in the low-fat, vegetarian lifestyle and the avoidance of red meat in the diets of younger women. A woman should eat a diet abundantly high in red meat, fowl, fish, seafood, animal fats, cholesterol, fish oil, hard cheeses, and eggs for many months prior to becoming pregnant in order to deliver a smart, healthy baby. She should continue the diet throughout pregnancy, and she and the child should continue this diet as a lifestyle for their own good health.

Vegetarian Diet Deficiencies Are a Proven Fact.

Cholesterol, Energy, Healing, Sex and Babies.

Autism is likely caused by failure of the brain of a fetus to develop properly in the womb. This lack of development is caused by deficiencies of some essential nutrients in the mother's diet and an excess of harmful nutrients. Fetus brains are not made from romaine lettuce and low-cholesterol omega-6 soybean oil salad dressings. Fetus brains are not made from rice milk. Fetus brains are not made from organic fruit or fruit juices. Fetus brains are not made from carbohydrates, starches or fiber. Carbohydrates, starches and fiber are not an essential nutrient in the human diet. They are very harmful. The healthy brain of the fetus is made from cholesterol, omega-3 fatty acids, saturated fat, amino acids from proteins, vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients. These good nutrients must be found in an abundance in the mother's blood in order for the fetus to obtain his fair share. The mother's body will hoard these vital nutrients when in short supply and thereby deprive the baby.

The warning signs that pregnancy could result in a child is at risk for autism begins early in the pregnancy. The woman's obstetrician and the baby's pediatrician will most likely incorrectly dismiss these early warning signs. Doctors generally recommend the wrong diet for the pregnant woman and the baby as well. The following is a list of warning signs that indicate an increased risk of autism in children.

• Mother eats a low-fat, low-cholesterol, and low-protein diet.

• Mother eats too many fruits and vegetables.

• Mother avoids eating meat, fish, and fowl before, during, and after pregnancy.

• Mother is a vegetarian.

• Mother's ultrasound shows an undersized fetus or undersized head.

• Mother's abdomen is smaller than normal.

• Baby's birth weight is less than seven pounds (3 kg).

• Baby's head size at birth is smaller than normal. Healthy babies normally have heads that appear large in relation to the body.

Mommy Goes Shopping for GROSS Commercial Baby Food.

High-fat breast milk was perfect food, but the commercial baby food is GROSS stuff. I found this example on Amazon:

Happy Baby Organic Stage 3 Baby Food, Hearty Meals, Chicken Curry and Vegetables with Brown Rice.

Ingredients

Water, Organic Butternut Squash, Organic Peas, Organic Red Bell Pepper, Organic Sweet Potato, Organic Dark Meat Chicken, Organic Brown Rice Flakes, Organic Onion, Organic Tomato Paste, Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Organic Curry Powder (Fenugreek*, Coriander*, Turmeric* (For Color), Mustard Seed*, Ginger*, Cumin*, Clove*, Black Pepper*, Cardamom*, Allspice*, Anise*, Cayenne*), Organic Parsley, Organic Coriander, Organic Garlic Powder. *Organic

No animal fats. Mother milk is all animal fats at more than 50% of calories. Commercial baby food is 60% carbohydrates --- sugars.

What is with all of these spices --- GROSS? Read the BAD reviews, and these people are not even experts.

Commercial baby and infant food has very little meat even in special meat dishes. This means that all of the other calories are from carbohydrates --- sugars. Sure, baby loves sugars. Who doesn't.

Where is the essential omega-3 fatty acids? Baby needs baked salmon with a little lemon juice and canola mayonnaise. Smash it up with a few cooked peas on the side smashed with lots of real butter.

Scrambled eggs in real butter and palm oil are great. Add some shredded hard cheeses in the pan to melt before serving.

Roast chicken or thighs with all of the skin and pan fats. Smash it up with lots of of the fat. Our grandchildren said, "More chicken skin, Papa."

Same with roast beef or pork shoulder roast. Same with baby back pork ribs. Add to the pot some diced carrots, potatoes, and/or yams.

Avoid fructose from fruits and juices because many babies are fructose intolerant. Avoid legumes and nuts. Avoid high salt.

Whole fat milk may be OK but avoid if it give the baby a stomach ache or bad diapers. Avoid all other dairy foods except real hard cheeses.

Give baby a vitamin and mineral supplement that must contain iodine when salt is restricted.

A half teaspoon of Carlson's Lemon Flavored Cod Liver Oil is great. See my personal page for the links. Our grandchildren said, "More, Papa." They loved it.

Baby Brains Are Not Made From Fruits and Vegetables

One of the omega-3 fatty acids, DHA, is a major constituent of cell membranes in the brain. A DHA deficiency weakens the cells and structure of the brain, leaving a baby with an underdeveloped brain. Growing infants and children have the same problem. A DHA deficiency in the diet of a pregnant woman will result in a deficiency in the brain development of the fetus. DHA fatty acid is called an essential nutrient in the human diet because a deficiency results in many diseases throughout the body, even in adults.

Children most at risk for having autism and/or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are those whose mothers think of themselves as being very health conscious, especially "health nuts." These mothers follow the health guidelines of professional nutritionists, obstetricians, pediatricians, and the USDA Food Guide Pyramid religiously. They eat lots of fruit and vegetables as recommended. They don't have a clue about the scientific facts. Fruit and vegetables contain no protein and no amino acids as needed to grow a baby. Fruit and vegetables contain no essential fatty acids, zero. Fruit and vegetables contain no saturated fats as needed to grow a baby's brain and body.  Fruit and vegetables contain no cholesterol of which the baby needs an abundance in order to grow a healthy brain. You were tricked and lied to. Fruit is loaded with unhealthy fructose sugar that is no different than high fructose corn syrup in a soft drink. Baby brains are not made from fructose. Fruit is natures candy. Non-starchy vegetables like romaine lettuce and spinach have virtually no calories. Vegetables that lack calories are commonly eaten as a weight loss approach, not a diet for growing a healthy baby. If you eat a lot of vegetables your baby will be a vegetable. Vegetarians are at high risk of having a baby with autism. Women are so severely brainwashed that they attack the scientific facts presented here.

Study Turns up 10 Autism Clusters in California - ABC News - January 6, 2010.

"Using data from birth records, the team found a strong link between parental education and the high rates of autism. "In this particular case, we found 10 clusters of autism across the state of California. When we looked further, we discovered virtually all of them were areas where there was a higher level of education among the parents who were giving birth in those years," Hertz-Picciotto said. "We already know that people with a higher education in the United States are more likely to get a diagnosis of autism for their child. It doesn't necessarily mean that autism occurs more frequently in those families," she said."

The result of the above study that turned up 10 clusters of autism in California should not come as a surprise to anyone who truly understands the scientific dietary requirements of a pregnant woman and the dreadful effect of the mother's poor diet upon the baby. The researchers are looking for pollutants in the environment instead of looking at the mother's diet. Mothers with a higher-level of education tend to follow the low-fat, low-protein, and high-carbohydrate diet as recommended in the USDA Food Guide Pyramid. These highly educated mothers have been brainwashed by the education system.

Metallothioneins (MTs) are a family of cysteine-rich, low molecular weight, metal-binding proteins that are synthesized within cells of the body naturally. MTs regulate the levels of zinc, copper, and selenium and bind to, or detox, cadmium, mercury, platinum, and silver. MTs prevent reactive oxygen species (ROS or free radical ions such as heavy metals) from attacking the cell membrane lipids, mitochondrial DNA, and damaging the ATP (energy) generation structure of the cell. This is also known as oxidative stress. Free radical attack of the cell DNA causes cancer. The production of MTs is dependent on the availability of dietary minerals such as zinc, copper, and selenium, and the amino acids histidine and cysteine. A deficiency of these minerals and amino acids leads to a deficiency of metallothioneins and the accumulation of heavy metals. The vegetarian diet is naturally deficient in zinc and amino acids, thereby leading to a deficiency of protective metallothioneins, resulting in heavy metal accumulation in adults and autism in infants. A diet to increase metallothioneins and reduce heavy metals contamination in children would certainly be beneficial, but the mother's poor diet during pregnancy has already done extensive damage to the baby's brain.

Vegetarian Diet Deficiencies Are a Proven Fact.

Autism is soaring in all English-speaking countries because they all follow the same diet recommendation to avoid red meat, avoid saturated fat and eat lots of fruit and vegetables. Societies where the people eat lots of meat and fish while restricting carbohydrates never have any children with autism.

Omega-6 fatty acids as found in soybean, safflower, corn, and other grain, nut, and seed oils are pro-inflammatory. It is essential only in very small quantities and ratio as found in meat, not vegetarian foods. All oils from grains, nuts, and seeds should be strictly avoided if you want a baby who doesn't have autism. Salad dressings are the most common source for unhealthy omega-6 fatty acids. This make green leaf vegetable salads and dressings a sickly combination that will harm your baby.

All carbohydrates are turned to glucose (blood sugar) during digestion. This blood sugar zings the baby's metabolism. This is more pronounced when the mother has insulin resistance because the fetus has none. The insulin and glucose in the mother's blood throws the fetus into a hyper fit that damages and destroys brain cells. The result is a hyper-metabolism which is a contributing cause behind the epidemic rise in childhood Autism and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Unfortunately, official health organizations don't have a clue about the cause or prevention of autism or ADHD. If you are the mother of an autistic or ADHD child you should deal with the reality of the situation. Go look at yourself in the mirror and shout, "It is your fault." Then change your diet. Go out to dinner and eat a ribeye steak without bread, potatoes or dessert so your next child won't be autistic or ADHD also.

Children with ADHD must cut the carbohydrates from the diet. Drink a low-sodium tomato juice drink made with the addition of L-glutamine powder and whey protein powder with breakfast and 30 minutes before bedtime. Add one P5P and one L-Tryptophan capsule as described on the following page. Adjust the amount according to the child's weight. This is a great calming combination. It is also an awesome boost for the entire body.

Saturated fats are an absolute necessity for infant brain development and growth. Saturated fats in the infant's diet are necessary to have a child with a high IQ and good athletic skills. Healthy brain cells and other body cells are made with a large percentage of saturated fats. Mother's breast milk is very high in saturated fats, especially lauric saturated fatty acid. This is the same fat as found in coconut oil.

Autism is not caused by inorganic pesticide sprays and/or inorganic fertilizer on lettuce, spinach, fruit and other foods. It is caused by the lettuce, spinach and fruit themselves. Autism is not caused by mercury, PCB, dioxin, lead or industrial chemicals in fish, the air or the soil. It is cause from not having enough fish in the diet. Autism is not genetic. Autism may occur more frequently in some families because the members have the same diet philosophy. Autism is not caused by mercury in dental fillings of the mother, cell phones and/or magnetic electrical fields from power lines. Alcohol can damage a fetus, but autism occurs in children of non alcoholic mothers. Your father didn't do it (some women like to blame their father for every ill in their lives).

Baby 'name test' may spot autism - BBC News - April 2, 2007.

"Routinely checking to see if babies can respond to their name at the age of one could help detect autism earlier than other tests, US experts believe. The disorder is usually not diagnosed until a child is three or four, as the symptoms are variable. However, parents of autistic children often say they have noticed early tell-tale behaviour. The 'name test' described in Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine appeared to aid earlier diagnosis."

The high-carbohydrate diet eaten my pregnant women is most likely to be fed to the autistic infant as well. This leads to other health complications such as candida yeast overgrowth and Clostridia bacteria infections. These children can be tested.

The Great Plains Laboratory for testing to determine the presence of pathogens such as yeast, fungus, parasites, and pathogenic bacteria. The Great Plains Laboratory "Organ Acid Test" evaluates all of the well-defined inborn errors of metabolism that can be detected with this technology (called GC/MS) such as PKU, maple-syrup urine disease, and many others. In addition, they check for many other abnormalities such as vitamin deficiencies and abnormal metabolism of catecholamines, dopamine, and serotonin. They currently quantitate 62 substances but also evaluate other substances that are not quantitated. Some of the other biochemical abnormalities common in autism include elevated uracil and elevated glutaric acid. The diet presented here along with the probiotics, vitamins, and minerals should be started first. Prescription drugs are recommended for the treatment of these pathogens.

"Some children with autism don’t have the yeast problem, but have an overgrowth of the Clostridia. Treating these children with an antifungal could make the bacteria problem even worse. Also, if your child has the yeast problem, it will likely require major changes in diet (for the child and the family) along with drug therapy for six months or longer. It will be very difficult to make this type of commitment if you are nor even sure if your child has the yeast problem."

"Also, your child could have a yeast overgrowth with a drug-resistant yeast and if you don’t do the testing beforehand, it would be difficult to know what was happening. If the problem is severe, the yeast die-off reaction may be more severe and you may want to take additional steps to control the yeast before using antifungals. Additionally, it may be very difficult to get your doctor’s cooperation for the prescriptions and insurance reimbursement if there is no evidence that the yeast problem even exists."

Autism Summary - Professional organizations will NEVER point the finger at the USDA Food Guide Pyramid as the primary cause of the autism epidemic, therefore, the raging epidemic of autism is projected to become even worse. Mothers of autistic children could become a part of the solution by encouraging others to eat a diet with lots of red meat, fowl, seafood, saturated fat, real butter, hard cheeses, eggs with cholesterol, and fish with omega-3 essential fatty acids, but they won't. So, the children suffer.

Frail Children - Some vegan kids look like hyper stick figures with no muscle mass because of the low-fat, low-protein diet, while others become fatties from eating the excess carbohydrate diet of starchy vegetables, grains, and fruits. The vegetarians of Southern India eat a low-calorie diet very high in carbohydrates and low in protein and fat. They have the shortest lifespan of any society on Earth, and their bodies have an extremely low muscle mass. They are weak and frail and the children clearly exhibit a failure to thrive. Their heart disease rate is double that of the meat eaters in Northern India. HL Abrams. Vegetarianism: An anthropological/nutritional evaluation. Journal of Applied Nutrition, 1980, 32:2:53-87.

Commercial baby food is dangerously deficient in Omega-3 fatty acids

Dumb Children - The study referenced below proves that 4 year-old children are more intelligent when the mother takes cod liver oil during pregnancy and lactating. The child must also be fed cod liver oil after breastfeeding is stopped.

The three most nutritionally important omega-3 fatty acids are alpha-linolenic fatty acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic fatty acid (DHA). Alpha-linolenic fatty acid is one of two fatty acids traditionally classified as "essential." The other fatty acid traditionally viewed as essential is an omega-6 fat called linoleic acid. These fatty acids have traditionally been classified as “essential” because the body is unable to manufacture them on its own and because they play a fundamental role in several physiological functions. As a result, we must be sure our diet contains sufficient amounts of both alpha-linolenic acid and linoleic acid.

The infant also needs essential omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Where is your infant getting these essential fats? Omega-3 fatty acids are NOT available to the infant from rice cereal, fruit juices, fruits, or vegetables. The infant can suffer from autism, low-immune system, low-growth rate, poor brain development, and many other health problems as a result of the switch to high-carbohydrate foods. This is one of the reasons autism, attention deficient hyperactivity disorder, child obesity, allergies, and many other childhood diseases are expanding at an epidemic rate. All commercial infant formula and food is seriously lacking in essential omega-3 fatty acids. They are not included because of expense, lower shelf life and because the fats tend to stick to the side of the container. Even dog food is fortified with omega-3 fatty acids because dogs get sick if they are not added. Commercial infant food also contain an excessive amount of omega-6 fatty acids from safflower, sunflower, soybean, corn and similar nut, seed, and grain oils that are unhealthy.

Many commercial infant formulas now contain a compound they claim is DHA docosahexaenoic omega-3 fatty acid. However, this is a form of DHA called crypthecodinium cohnii oil that is obtained from algae in a factory (yucky). It is not the same as natural DHA docosahexaenoic omega-3 fatty acid as found in unprocessed products like Carlson's Lemon Flavored Cod Liver Oil. Real DHA docosahexaenoic omega-3 fatty acid is not used in infant formula because it reduces the shelf storage life, has a liquid oil form, sticks to the container and is rejected by religious vegetarians who will not buy anything from animal source. Cod liver oil contains both both forms of omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic fatty acid (DHA). Commercial baby formula does not contain eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) because they can't manufacture it in a dry powder form.

Cod Liver Oil: The Number One Superfood.

'Cereals don't deserve to be called food.'

The arachidonic fatty acid (ARA) also added to commercial infant formula is sourced from the mortierella alpina fungus (yucky). The ingredient list on the containers of commercial infant formula conveniently hides the fact that factory forms of DHA and ARA are obtained from algae and fungus. Cod liver oil contains unprocessed healthy alpha-linolenic fatty acid that the body uses to obtain arachidonic fatty acid (ARA). Don't let the vegetarians control the food your child eats.

Study proves that 4 year-old children are more intelligent when the mother takes cod liver oil during pregnancy and lactating. The child must also be fed cod liver oil after breastfeeding is stopped.

"Objectives. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6 n-3) and arachidonic acid (AA; 20:4 n-6) are important for development of the central nervous system in mammals. There is a growth spurt in the human brain during the last trimester of pregnancy and the first postnatal months, with a large increase in the cerebral content of AA and DHA. The fetus and the newborn infant depend on maternal supply of DHA and AA. Our hypothesis was that maternal intake of DHA during pregnancy and lactation is marginal and that high intake of this fatty acid would benefit the child. We examined the effect of supplementing pregnant and lactating women with very-long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs; cod liver oil) on mental development of the children, compared with maternal supplementation with long-chain n-6 PUFAs (corn oil)."

Vitamin D deficiency with the appearance of rickets is becoming more common. A vitamin D deficiency causes cancer, osteoporosis, rickets, and weak bones. It also contributes to heart disease, asthma, and many autoimmune diseases. This why this website recommends Carlson's Lemon Flavored Cod Liver Oil for everyone in the family, especially babies and children. The best sources are sunlight, fish-liver oils, and egg yolks, all of which people are told by professional nutritional groups to avoid. Milk is a poor choice for vitamin D. Carlson's Lemon Flavored Cod Liver Oil is the best choice because it also provides vitamin A, and essential omega-3 fatty acids that have been proven to increase the IQ in infants.

Giving pregnant women vitamin D could mean their babies grow stronger bones in later life.

Commercial baby food is grossly deficient in cholesterol

A deficiency of cholesterol in the body and diet has been found to cause deformation of the eyes in babies and growing children. The low-cholesterol diet of a pregnant woman and her children has been linked to the need for vision correction glasses as the children age. The low-cholesterol diet damages the eyes in babies and children.

Cholesterol in the diet is very important for brain development in infants and hormone development in growing children. Cholesterol in the diet is an essential for human health. One soft-boiled egg each day is highly recommended for infants who are not nursing. Feed infants younger than one year an egg yolk each day without the egg white because the protein in the egg white is difficult to digest. Soft boiling protects the cholesterol in the yolk from oxidation. All children should eat at least one egg each day. The low-cholesterol contents of commercial infant food could be the root cause for autism increasing in the USA and UK at the alarming rate of 20% per year. This could also be caused by low-cholesterol and low-fat diets of the mother. Researchers cannot find the cause of autism because they have an incorrect bias in favor of the low-fat, low-cholesterol, high-carbohydrate diet. Researchers have an initial paradigm that is wrong. The baby's brain needs cholesterol and fats for proper development and growth before and after birth.

"An unfortunate practice in industrial societies is the feeding of cereal grains to infants. Babies produce only small amounts of amylase, needed for the digestion of grains, and are not fully equipped to handle cereals, especially wheat, before the age of one year. (Some experts prohibit all grains before the age of two.) Baby’s small intestine mostly produces one enzyme for carbohydrates—lactase, for the digestion of lactose. (Raw milk also contains lactase.) Many doctors have warned that feeding cereal grains too early can lead to grain allergies later on. Baby’s earliest solid foods should be animal foods as his digestive system, although immature, is better equipped to supply enzymes for digestion of fats and proteins rather than carbohydrates."

"Carbohydrate in the form of fresh, mashed banana can be added after the age of six months as bananas are rich in amylase enzymes and, thus, are easily digested by most infants. Some preindustrial societies give a gruel of cereal grains, soaked 24 hours, to babies one year or older. Soaking in an acidic medium neutralizes phytates and begins the breakdown of carbohydrates, thus allowing children to obtain optimum nourishment from grains. It also provides lactic acid to the intestinal tract to facilitate mineral uptake."

"At the age of about ten months, meats, fruits and vegetables may be introduced, one at a time so that any adverse reactions may be observed. Carbohydrate foods, such as potatoes, carrots, turnips, etc., should be mashed with butter. (Don’t overdo on the orange vegetables as baby’s immature liver may have difficulty converting carotenoids to vitamin A. If your baby’s skin develops a yellowish color, a sign that he is not making the conversion, discontinue orange vegetables for a time.) Lacto-fermented taro or other roots (page 102) make an excellent carbohydrate food for babies. It is wise to feed babies a little buttermilk or yoghurt from time to time to familiarize them with the sour taste. Above all, do not deprive your baby of animal fats—he needs them for optimum physical growth and mental development. Mother’s milk contains over 50% of its calories as fat, much of it saturated fat, and children need these kinds of fats throughout their growing years."

"It is unwise to give baby fruit juices, especially apple juice, which provide only simple carbohydrates and will often spoil an infant’s appetite for more nutritious foods. Sorbitol, a sugar-alcohol in apple juice, is difficult to digest. Studies have linked failure to thrive in children with diets high in apple juice. High -fructose foods are especially dangerous for growing children."

"Remember that babies should be chubby and children should be sturdy and strong, not slim. Babies need body fat to achieve optimum growth. The fat around their ankles, knees, elbows and wrists is growth fat that ensures adequate nourishment to the growth plates at the ends of the bones. Fat babies grow up into sturdy, well-formed adults, neither too tall nor too short and either slender or stocky depending on genetic heritage."

"Keep your baby away from processed junk foods as long as possible—but do not think that you can do this indefinitely. Unless you lock your child in a closet—or live in a closed community of like-minded parents—he will come in contact with junk foods sooner or later. His best protection is the optimal diet that you have given him during his infancy and your loving example and training in later years."

Growing children should have high levels of protein and fats from meat, fowl, fish, and seafood for building strong, healthy bodies. It is easy to understand why diabetes has become epidemic in the English-speaking nations of the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia when one reviews the contents of commercial infant foods. These high-carbohydrate infant foods cause an insulin surge, which leads to insulin resistance in the cells of the infant's body. This has lead to an ever-increasing percentage of children who become obese. Infants require a high-fat diet as their energy source to prevent obesity, diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and bowel diseases in later life. Do not feed infants and children the popular low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet.

Commercial baby food does not provide complete nutrition

Infant formula is the single food source given to many babies. They get no other food from any other source, therefore, it must contain all essential nutrients vital to life. This is the reason infant formula is supplemented with essential vitamins, minerals, protein, fatty acids, and other ingredients. Commercial baby food does not provide this protection. Commercial baby food is not supplemented with essential vitamins, minerals, protein, fatty acids, and other ingredients to provide complete nutrition. Where is your child getting these necessary nutrients? Do the commercial baby food manufacturers assume you feed your child other sources in addition to that provided in the jars? What if you are not providing any other food for your child? Commercial baby food companies simply side step the responsibility to provide a complete nourishment for your child. Feeding a child commercial baby food and nothing else can leave the child deficient in many essential nutrients. The child can fail to develop mentally and physically at the optimal level. This is called failure to thrive and is common. The child can develop a weak immune system. The child can suffer from learning disabilities that are revealed by poor performance during school years and as an adult.

Children 'harmed' by vegan diets US scientist claims.

Vegan Parents Charged With Manslaughter of Child Because of Vegan Diet.

Food for children should be made at home from fresh meats, fish, fowl, seafood, vegetables, and fruit. Grains and fruit should be limited to prevent feeding the child an excessive amount of carbohydrates as found in commercial baby food. Extra care must be taken to insure essential elements are not accidentally bypassed. Omega-3 fatty acids should be provided by feeding salmon or other cold water fish. Supplementing with a small amount of cod liver oil in proportion to the size of the child is strongly suggested. The child should be given the proper multivitamin and mineral supplements. Meat and animal fats are required to build a strong body and full mental capacity. Eggs are an excellent food source as well. Providing the child with proper nourishment will give him a great head start toward a healthy and successful life.

Advice for mothers who cannot nurse the baby

Infant formula cannot be made to duplicate mother's breast milk, but you can make your own healthy infant formula by following the instructions on the following link. Do not attempt to invent your own formula, and never feed your baby plain cow's milk, goat's milk, soy milk, rice milk, or any other similar products. Babies have died from being fed only rice milk. Do not drink or cook with kefir milk which is a fermented liquid product made with active yeasts and bacteria from grains and goat or sheep milk. Do not eat kefir yogurt.

Vegan Couple Sentenced to Live in Prison on Felony Murder Charge After Baby Dies From Vegan Diet of Soy Milk and Apple Juice.

"ATLANTA (AP) May 9, 2007 - A vegan couple were sentenced Wednesday to life in prison for the death of their malnourished 6-week-old baby boy, who was fed a diet largely consisting of soy milk and apple juice. Superior Court Judge L.A. McConnell imposed the mandatory sentences on Jade Sanders, 27, and Lamont Thomas, 31. Their son, Crown Shakur, weighed just 3 1/2 pounds when he died of starvation on April 25, 2004. The couple were found guilty May 2 of malice murder, felony murder, involuntary manslaughter and cruelty to children. A jury deliberated about seven hours before returning the guilty verdicts."

Avoid those plastics for use as food containers that have been shown to release harmful chemicals into the food or water that is stored in the containers. The containers should have a triangle mark on the bottom with a number. Numbers 1,2, 4 and 5 are least harmful. Avoid all others. Glass, ceramic, stainless steel, and cast iron are more acceptable containers for food.

Bisphenol-A now linked to male infertility - October 29, 2010 - Telegraph.co.uk
By Richard Alleyne, Science Correspondent

"A controversial chemical used for decades in the mass production of food containers and baby bottles has been linked to male infertility for the first time."

Do not eat any food containing soy, soybeans, soy protein, tofu, or any other soy products. Soy causes birth defects in unborn babies. The plant estrogens in soy, called phytoestrogens, cause massive hormone disruptions in the fetus, babies, infants, and adults. People of all ages should avoid eating all products that contain soy or soy protein. The following are the sad regrets sent to us by a mother who ate soy tofu during her pregnancy.

"I agree with much of your sites philosophies. Soy is awful stuff. I was a vegan for 10 years. I blame soy protein for causing a 3rd degree hypospadias in my lovely son. 10 surgeries were required to repair it. I am an advocate of a high animal protein diet now. I purchase natural meat when I can for my family. We eat pork, lard, beef suet, beef, whole milk, etc. I feel my health is better than it ever was. I eat carbohydrates in very limited quantities. Mainly in the form of vegetable and fruit. We never eat any form of flour, wheat or refined carbohydrates, sugar, etc. It's poison. Thanks for helping to get the message out to our suffering obese country. One person at a time."

Note: Hypospadias is a condition where the outlet of the penis is not at the end. It is caused by a male fetus receiving excessive amounts of phytoestrogens. Males can become sterile as a result of the mother eating soy during pregnancy. Female fetuses are damaged as well causing hormone problems during puberty and later life. 

"I feel 100% certain it was the phytoestrogens in the tofu I ate DAILY during pregnancy that created Gabriel's hypospadias. I've done a lot of research on estrogen since, and I've found that it's pretty toxic stuff! Being a woman, I make enough of it as it is, and I added more to my taxed system. Wish I knew then what I know now. But I cannot blame myself. I had no idea what I was doing to myself and my son. I have been reading your site for some weeks now, honestly, every free moment I get I read the articles and the links you posted. Thanks a bunch!"

Soy causes the early maturation of females who are beginning to develop as early as eight years of age. Soy phytoestrogens increase female infertility and have caused a plunge in the male sperm count. Soy products are being added to all kinds of food to the extent that escaping from the consumption of soy is nearly impossible. Reading every nutritional label is necessary. Unprocessed foods should always be the first choice. Meat, fowl, fish and seafood should be unprocessed and in the natural state. Bread, cookies, crackers, candy bars, and special drinks are prime candidates to avoid. Never feed a baby soy-based formula.

Reversing Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) - The Ignored Female Epidemic

Soybean plants are the most genetically modified organism (GMO) in the United States food supply. As of January, 2006, the percentage of soybeans that have been genetically modified is estimated to be 75% and increasing fast. Virtually all of the products on supermarket shelves that contain any soy or soy protein at all, have been contaminated. Just because a soy product is labeled "organic" does not mean it is GMO free. Vegetarians gorge themselves on soy products such as soy milk and soy burgers, destroying their hormone balance and with it, their health. Vegetarian foods such as breads, bagels, cereals, crackers, pastas and energy drinks have all been fortified with soy protein made from GMO contaminated soybeans.

Pureed food 'isn't natural for babies' - Guardian Unlimited - June 15, 2007.

"'In 2002, the World Health Organisation backed research that found breast or formula milk provided all the nutrition a baby needs up to the age of six months,' she said. 'That research said feeding a baby any other food during their first six months would dilute the nutritional value of the milk and might even be harmful to the baby's health.' After six months, Rapley says, babies are capable of taking food to their mouths and chewing, making purees and spoon feeding unnecessary."

Don't let this happen to you. 

Biological mother is arrested for taking her 17 month old twins.

Hospital officials, social service employees, church officials, and other evil people coerce unmarried mothers to give up their baby for adoption because these officials are benefiting financially. The adoptive parents PAY somebody MONEY for your child. Don't go through the hell experienced by Allison Lee Quets. DO NOT GIVE YOUR BABY UP FOR ADOPTION. Reject everyone who wants you to give up your baby. Seek help from those who support your efforts to keep and raise your baby.

"RALEIGH, North Carolina (AP) - A biological mother accused of kidnapping her 17-month-old twins from their adoptive parents in North Carolina has been arrested in Canada, and authorities say the children are safe. Allison Lee Quets, 49, and the twins were found Friday night when police in Ottawa, Canada, acted on a tip, the FBI said in a statement early Saturday. The toddlers, Tyler Lee and Holly Ann Needham, were placed in the custody of Canadian Social Services. Quets could face federal charges of international parental kidnapping. A custody agreement allowed Quets to take the children for a brief visit Dec. 22-24, but authorities said she never returned them. The FBI said an investigation indicated Quets crossed the Canadian border with the twins Dec. 23."

Baby 'name test' may spot autism - BBC News - April 2, 2007.

"Routinely checking to see if babies can respond to their name at the age of one could help detect autism earlier than other tests, US experts believe. The disorder is usually not diagnosed until a child is three or four, as the symptoms are variable. However, parents of autistic children often say they have noticed early tell-tale behaviour. The 'name test' described in Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine appeared to aid earlier diagnosis."
