The Earth - Our Mother - is in crisis! • It is a crisis caused by man-made activities that deplete natural resources, and degrade and pollute the environment with increasing waste and garbage, power stations and danger from nuclear reactors. • Over 20 years of evidence has shown how infant formula production, packaging and use are adding to this crisis!'

  17. Key Points : • Breastfeeding plays a key role not only in infancy but also in shaping the future of the child. • Exposure to infant formula during this vital period may in fact increase chances of obesity later in childhood. • Infants fed with formula milk, as against breast milk, have shown higher IGF-I levels. • Most infant formulas have a slightly higher energy density and higher protein content than human milk. • A high protein intake in infancy, has been found to enhance the secretion of insulin and IGF-I with a consequent stimulation of cell proliferation, which promotes an accelerated growth and an increased adipose tissue. • Inappropriate feeding practices, contributes to both under nutrition as well as over nutrition.
