Infant formula has Hexane a highly explosive chemical

(Borganic.org) The sad, disturbing truth about all this is that the infant formula industry has, for decades, engaged in highly deceptive marketing practices that sought to replace healthful human breast milk with harmful, factory-made infant formula products in order to generate profits.

These corporations can't make money off mothers' breast milk, but they sure can earn big bucks off a canister of processed, chemically-contaminated cow's milk proteins, high-fructose corn syrup and various chemical additives. Some of the most outrageous crimes ever committed against the people of developing nations, in fact, have been committed by the infant formula corporations who actively sought to teach uneducated women that "breast milk is bad" while insisting that "modern women feed their babies formula."

Martek's role in all this is murky: On one hand, the company is providing an oil that's theoretically good for children's health, but on the other hand, this oil is from an algal source and it's extracted using an explosive toxic chemical that undoubtedly causes harm to our environment. (Hence its designation as a Hazardous Air Pollutant by the EPA.)

Even if there's no detectable contamination of the finished DHA product with hexane, I still would not want to feed my baby an ingredient whose refining results in the release of toxic chemicals into the environment. Would you?

I don't trust any of the conventional infant formula companies. Even the so-called "natural" soy protein infant formulas may be contaminated with hexane residues -- see our previous report on hexane in soy protein here:
