Manganese in Infant Formula
Manganese Madness by Dr. David Goodman Read Full Article
The problem of infant exposure to excessive manganese, present in infant soy-based formulas, was identified over 15 years ago and still persists. Research suggesting a link between behavioral and learning problems later in life to the ingestion of infant formulas with much higher manganese content than mother’s breast milk, were presented at a toxic metals conference. The conference was held at the University of California, Irvine in September, 2000. Two conclusions emerged form the conference. First, the need to educate the public about the potential dangers posed by the formula now fed to infants. Second, to accelerate studies on the effects of toxic metals on the brain and on human behavior.

Yet research ongoing for a decade at two University of California campuses affirms that manganese in infant formula may damage the infant brain and trigger aberrant behavior in adolescents.
