Dirty Shenanigans, Private Medical Club

“If your life was as poisoned as mine, and you had to watch day after day the massacre of innocent children with completely indecent food, I think you would feel the same way as and me: false promotion of baby food should be seen as killing children. Anyone who unknowingly or carelessly contributes to the feeding of a child with junk food can be considered guilty of the death of this child. Dr. Sisley Williams, Milk and Murder, 1939

The Dirty Baby Food Business

The baby food industry is in the billions. In this business, big money is involved, not the health of children. Despite the fact that breastfeeding is extremely beneficial for both newborns and their mothers, it is simply crossed out.

While scientific research supports the benefits of breast milk, bottle feeding is becoming more and more common.

Through aggressive advertising of baby food, mothers are swayed with the idea that ready-made milk formula is equivalent to mother's milk. The beneficial effects of breastfeeding on maternal health are not considered significant.

All over the world, scarce resources are spent on the production of prepared meals, although these funds could be better used.

Policy influence

Infant and toddler food manufacturers are increasingly influencing official health policy and using physicians to achieve this goal. By limiting media advertising specifically targeted at mothers, they are also buying time and programs to advocate against breastfeeding.

While these companies have, albeit reluctantly, signed the WHO/UNICEF International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes, they are nonetheless phasing it out. And despite this, they continue to complain that the Code is too restrictive of their activities. The World Trade Organization helps them increase their power.

Despite the Code and the efforts of thousands of breastfeeding advocates, the market for infant formula is booming. The companies involved in this business are actively developing, and the income from it continues to grow.

WHO/UNICEF Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes

The purpose of the Code is to promote safe and quality nutrition for newborns, namely to support and promote breastfeeding and the correct use of milk substitutes when needed. This requires the dissemination of relevant information.

The Code includes the following main provisions:

  • breast milk substitutes must not be advertised;
  • Free samples of breast-milk substitutes may not be distributed to mothers;
  • you can not advertise products through medical institutions;
  • don't give gifts or samples for personal use to healthcare professionals;
  • it is forbidden to place inscriptions or images that idealize factory-made artificial food, including the use of images of children on product labels;
  • information for medical professionals must be scientific and objective;
  • All information on factory-made formulas, including labels, must state the benefits of breastfeeding and the costs and risks associated with the use of factory-made formulas;
  • You may not advertise products unsuitable for baby food, such as sweetened condensed milk;
  • All artificial nutrition must be of high quality and take into account the climatic and storage conditions of the country for which it is produced.

The motto is to increase revenues

The main goal of the baby food industry is to increase profits through market expansion, product efficiency, new product development and extended shelf life. The greed of these companies seems insatiable.

It is clear that breastfeeding is not a good thing from the point of view of infant formula manufacturers. The baby food industry (including bottles and nipples) is a billion dollar business with huge profits and fierce competition between individual companies.

Businesses invest capital only to increase profits. Baby food manufacturers provide funds to doctors, nurses, students, and children's clinics for research, equipment, gifts, pay, conferences, travel, and publications so that the target audience receives positive information about their products.

Infant health does not appear to be a high priority for them. Most of the ingredients found in infant formula are incredibly cheap. The cost of powdered milk is only one sixth of the total cost of the finished product. The cost of isolated soy protein is even lower.

What are the ingredients in infant formula?

  • Corn syrup: contains glucose. Breast milk contains lactose, an important carbohydrate. Not all formula milks contain lactose.
  • Sucrose: lactose free. It's sugar that's bad for kids.
  • Soybean oil: This is a highly processed product. It is produced at high temperature using chemicals, bleached and deodorized. In addition, this oil becomes rancid very quickly.
  • Whey Protein: Temperature-sensitive proteins coagulate due to high processing temperatures. But cow's milk is in any case not recommended for infants.
  • Isolated Soy Protein: Highly processed, contains phytoestrogens, which have a negative effect on the hormonal development of children and can cause, for example, an underactive thyroid gland. It does not have GRAS status, which means international recognition of safety.
  • Carrageenan: Very difficult for babies to digest. Carrageenan is one of the most common causes of indigestion in formula-fed infants. In rats, this substance causes liver problems and slows down growth.
  • Soy Lecithin: Produced from soybean oil waste. May contain large amounts of pesticides.
  • Artificial vitamins: often have the opposite effect of natural vitamins found in food. Artificial vitamins do not have natural accompanying substances that help our body to better regulate the absorption of vitamins, that is, to dose them correctly. This can quickly lead to an excess of vitamins, leading to dysfunction of the body's immune system.
  • Free glutamic and aspartic acids: neurotoxins that are formed during the processing of milk and soy protein powder. They are found in very large quantities in hypoallergenic products.

Behind the Scenes USA

Newborn milk formula is made from highly processed industrial cow's milk or soy protein. However, formula milk manufacturers were able to convince the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to classify these formulas as food, not drugs. As a result, they are less controlled.

The FDA allows the use of isolated soy protein in soy-based formulas, although the protein is not GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe-Status). This status is assigned to substances that are considered safe. These are primarily substances intended for internal human consumption, such as food supplements or medicines.

Businesses influence the selection of delegates to international conferences on infant nutrition, including those sponsored by WHO. They draw up special offers on breast milk substitutes, which, in particular, should help solve the problem of hunger.

However, companies insist on placing their logo. They use every opportunity to advertise their products.

Governments benefit from baby food of questionable quality

Governments have a financial interest in importing infant formula. Additional income from sales tax and import duties is always welcome. In Zimbabwe, the government receives income from a sales tax on imported formula milk and a 10 percent import duty.

Thus, officials' incomes rise when mothers stop breastfeeding.

Breast and early childhood food manufacturers develop close relationships with infant nutrition and health departments in various departments, who become lobbyists for these companies and act on their behalf and in their interests.

Businesses pay delegates to attend international nutrition conferences to vote on their behalf.

Manufacturers influence educational material

Manufacturers and their representatives interfere even in the creation of breastfeeding educational materials. For example, Nestlé wrote to the US Secretary of Health demanding that a popular publication on Maternal and Child Nutrition Perspectives be withdrawn from circulation for fear of its impact. According to the manufacturers, this material is "unscientific".

In this case, their efforts were unsuccessful, as the facts were cross-checked by leading experts in the field.

In Zimbabwe, the publication of a UNICEF funded article on breastfeeding called "Baby Feeding" has stalled due to lobbying by Nestlé.

In the end, the Attorney General still gave permission for her release. It is not known, however, how many such posts were successfully blocked.

Officials succumb to threats

When a group of breastfeeding mothers in Guatemala protested the placement of images of babies on Nestlé's Gerber baby formula, Gerber attempted to bribe the national breastfeeding committee. When that didn't work, they threatened the government.

If Guatemala does not allow them to exercise their right to free trade, they will curtail their production in the country - that was the threat. For this reason, the will of the producers had to be obeyed.

Food manufacturers control themselves

The Australian Federal Consumer Protection Agency and several infant formula manufacturers have entered into a marketing agreement that they claim incorporates the provisions of the WHO Code. But the commission set up to oversee the marketing of breast-milk substitutes also includes representatives from the food industry, which was supposed to be overseen.

Although the Philippines has strict national regulations restricting the sale of infant formula, the government has not taken any action against gross violations of these regulations by food manufacturers.

AIDS is a desirable disease

One of the most serious examples of how infant formula advertising works today is the dogma that HIV-infected mothers should not breastfeed.

Despite the incompleteness and inconsistency of scientific evidence on the transmission of HIV through breastfeeding, companies are using the HIV epidemic to introduce artificial feeding in third world countries.

For infant formula manufacturers, AIDS represents a great opportunity to raise revenues.

Infant formula manufacturers are using the AIDS study, which was presented at an international conference in Vancouver in 1996 and featured on the front page of the New York Times, to pressure UNICEF to support the use of infant formula for children with HIV-infected mothers.

The food industry supported this study, although the results have not yet been published. The author of the New York Times article interviewed six breastfeeding experts, but their opinions, however, were not made public. Instead, the author cited the views of ardent opponents of breastfeeding, such as Ted Jackson, an immunologist and former Nestlé staffer who is still a consultant to this concern. As a result, the article turned out to be very one-sided. As a result, accusations were made against WHO and UNICEF that these organizations do not care about the well-being of children from third world countries.

A study in Durban shows that it makes no difference whether HIV-infected children under 6 months of age were exclusively breastfed or exclusively formula fed. Unfortunately, no lobbyist commented on this positive news.

Dubious certifications

There are countless other examples of the incredible influence of breast milk substitutes and infant formula companies on important regulatory institutions. At the International Conference on Nutrition (ICN) in Geneva, manufacturers systematically infiltrated meetings. The ITUC recommendations had to be formulated secretly and were only announced in plenary session, to the surprise of the baby food manufacturers.

Nestlé's final trick is to get the government to certify in writing that their products meet the requirements of the WHO Code. Nestlé provides ready-made certificates of compliance with the Code, which lack only the signature of an authorized government representative. This has already happened in Panama. Nestlé is forcing other Latin American governments to sign these so-called certificates.

The administration of the Western Cape in South Africa is under similar pressure. However, this strategy by Nestlé, according to the International Baby Food Network (IBFAN), appears to be backfiring, as more governments use it to expose deficiencies in Nestlé products.

Nestlé has been asked by the South African Ministry of Health to change the labels on certain products as they are set to start complementary foods at 4 to 6 months, although the WHO recommends weaning only at 6 months of age. The Ministry of Health also draws attention to the fact that in some hospitals, despite the ban, Nestlé advertising posters and brochures are freely available, which contributes to the sale of their products.

Retail psychology

Baby food manufacturers are buying up entire shelves and flooding stores with products, posters and promotional materials that make products associated with the brand and show them in a particularly favorable light. In supermarkets in the Philippines, for example, you can see a shelf with antidiarrheal products almost next to baby food and related advertising brochures, as it can happen if baby food is prepared in untreated water. Now bottled water is also offered for the preparation of milk formula, however, it is impossible to achieve the positive effect on human immunity that breast milk has.

For children allergic to cow's milk, soy-based baby food is available. As always, the dangers associated with the use of these products are categorically denied or underestimated. In some US supermarkets, infant formula is marked on the shelves as "WIC Recommended". as part of the American government's program to support women, babies and children. This is how baby food manufacturers use government programs to promote their products.

In Australia, only a handful of pharmacies previously carried promotional materials for baby food manufacturers. But now companies like Mead Johnson are offering pharmacies special perks. For some time now, supermarkets have become veritable baby food centers that advertise against breastfeeding through large-scale advertising in carefully selected locations. Pharmacies are now competing with supermarkets to maintain their market share.

Doctors' fraud

Hospitals, clinics, maternity wards and doctors' offices have become sales centers. Distributors actually go to these locations to sell their products with misleading statements. At an East London hospital that caters primarily to South Africans, Abbott told nurses that Similac® was not a ready-made food, but a nutritional supplement for premature babies. As a result, mothers believe these foods are better than breast milk.

Doctors distribute baby food samples and provide mothers with information materials. They also distribute breastfeeding videos made by baby food manufacturers. As it turned out, 93% of the mothers who received these free samples continued to use the products of this brand.

The US Government funded WIC program and similar infant nutrition programs serve to increase sales of infant formula. To do this, mothers are set up to use the products of a particular brand. WIC members receive enough baby food to feed a baby weighing 9pounds. If the baby weighs more, the mother has to buy the missing formula. If mothers weren't convinced of the benefits of artificial feeding, they could breastfeed their baby for free.

Hospitals receive huge amounts of money for recommending a particular brand of product. Although managers are denied access to maternity and neonatal wards, they visit them regularly. In South Africa, Abbott uses its Formance® product, incorrectly recommending it to pregnant women with large babies, to gain access to antenatal and postnatal patients. This practice is not prohibited by the Code.

Physicians are paid

Health professionals have a special responsibility for the success or failure of the Code. However, they are often the target of advertising campaigns without noticing it. Medical facilities are often used by manufacturing companies to stimulate sales.

Among the representatives of the leading manufacturers, it is customary to keep a file of doctors containing information about their birthdays and other personal data. Paediatricians with extensive experience, ideally conducting educational activities, belong to group A and are under special attention.

Industry attends and sponsors many of these meetings, nursing conferences, and breastfeeding workshops. It should be especially noted that at the conferences of manufacturers of baby food there are no doctors who do not receive a salary from them, except in cases where special expert opinions are needed.

10 representatives of baby food companies were present at a meeting of health professionals on the Code in Cape Town to distort what was said about the Code and cause everyone's annoyance. In addition, this meeting was attended by Nestlé supporters who received financial support from the company or gifts from it.

Fear as a Sales Tool

Manufacturers of infant formula print promotional materials for healthcare professionals. One such publication provides an overview of different feeding methods and states that this brand of infant formula is as beneficial as breast milk. Scientific studies are reported that reveal the shortcomings of mother's milk, but no one talks about the possibility of improving the quality of mothers' nutrition. The goal is to instill fear among (future) mothers and then sell them infant formula.

Companies invest their money very purposefully. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) receives $1 million a year from baby food manufacturers. In addition, she also receives $8 million in rent for the premises. After these submissions, the AARP withdrew its objections to the production of soy-based baby food. Businesses pay for conferences and exhibitions, special guests, research, journals, publications, and grants. However, there are groups that do not agree to such proposals. For example, the Indian Association of Pediatricians did not accept money from manufacturers.

Power of the media

Manufacturers have access to the media and use it for their own purposes. For example, with the help of the Wall Street Journal, der Time and the New York Times, they undermine the credibility of breastfeeding.

The Internet has become an indispensable marketing tool and, therefore, baby food manufacturers widely use it to market their products. They organize feeding courses for groups of parents with children, where the main focus is on the "correct" feeding of infants.

The iron "problem"

Another ploy of baby food manufacturers is to make a big deal about iron deficiency. Breast milk contains very little iron, which is why they advertise iron-fortified formulas.

Infants who received this food consumed 22 times more iron than when breastfed. This significantly increases the risk of hemochromatosis (excessive accumulation of iron) with all the ensuing consequences. Therefore, the only ones who benefit from this nutrition are its manufacturers: mixtures enriched with iron are correspondingly more expensive than without this supplement.

Interestingly, 77% of the studies designed to scientifically prove the effectiveness of iron supplementation were funded by the artificial nutrition industry.

Breast milk is low in iron for at least two reasons:

  • low levels of iron in breast milk contribute to its antiviral effect;
  • Iron absorption and zinc absorption are competing processes. The child's body needs a lot of zinc for the development of the brain and nervous system.

Therefore, in traditional societies, after childbirth, they waited until the umbilical cord blood flowed into the body of the child, and until then the umbilical cord was not tied or cut off. Thanks to this, the blood of the child was enriched with iron. Later, at 4–6 months of age, the baby received its first solid food, usually iron-rich liver, thoroughly chewed by its mother.

Iron-fortified foods can cause constipation and blockade of zinc absorption and should therefore not be used under any circumstances. Parents should insist that their child receive his cord blood, and then, starting from the 4th month of life, you can enrich the diet with crushed liver and egg yolk. Mothers during lactation should also eat foods rich in iron to replenish iron reserves in the body, depleted at birth, and prevent the development of anemia.

Consumer Opportunity

As powerful as manufacturing companies may seem, leverage in the marketplace can make them consider people's needs so they don't harm but help build a better future for our children.

We need a system that can make compliance mandatory for companies and protect the health of mother and child. Evidence-based research is needed to ensure that baby food is not harmful to health and that the information about it is true.

We must restore the priority of breastfeeding and strengthen the rights of motherhood. Society must recognize the importance of motherhood and support mothers. But above all, women themselves must realize the value of their unique ability - to breastfeed - and defend their right to do so.
