Babies and toddlers need the extra fat to grow myelin on their nerves and improve conduction of signals within the brain. Someone needs to read up on their child development before decrying the formulation of infant foods. That having been said, there is something to be said for avoiding artificial preservatives. Just don’t forget the extra needs of growing minds in making baby food yourself. Child (especially baby) nutrition and adult nutrition are two different things.

Hi,
I am looking for the link to the actual study that was done. I get irritated with articles that just say “Studies show…blah, blah, blah” but don’t link up to the real facts and the actual study done. PLEASE share the findings on this, I am interested in the actual products tested and what fast food cheeseburger they went up against. Thank you.

My little guy is thriving on whole egg yolks, beef, chicken, coconut oil mixed with fruit, whole yogurt, raw cheese and many other wonderful healthy fats and nutrients. Although I am excited that this article is promoting feeding your kids real food and paying attention to what you feed them, I wish it also promoted healthy saturated fats and cholesterol as a part of nutrient dense foods. http://www.westonaprice.org

You and I know that – but the majority of people do not understand that. They will just think “saturated fats = bad” and assume their children can and should live without them. And if their children are not getting Gerber then they are getting Beechnut instead. The average person is not going to forgo Gerber for homemade – just a brand without saturated fats or less of them and not even understand why. You are unique and people, like those who read this type of blog, are unique in that they really take the time to understand this stuff. I never understood that before I became a parent. Most people think they are too busy and want someone to tell them what to do.

Babies do need fat for brain development, but it’s much better to give them healthy ones like avocados than whatever processed gunk Heinz or Gerber puts in those little plastic tubs.

This is misleading. Babies NEED saturated fats for brain development. They also need high levels of cholesterol – it is essential for growth!!! We need to stop imposing our supposed heath conscious diet on our children. These are the same people that will tell you formula is just as good a breastmilk – even though breast milk is 50% saturated fats with equally high cholesterol and formula almost none.

Infants and children CANNOT diet under any circumstance you might as well give them lead if you are going to deprive them of the basic building blocks of necessary nutrition. I am not saying that they should be eating mcdonalds but let us be clear about a good diet vs. a bad one. There are countless articles about children getting sick and some even dying from formulas and soymilk which did not have enough nutrients in them. Take a look at the Weston Price Foundation if you want some more information on the saturated fats/cholesterol issue. They are at: Children’s Health, http://westonaprice.org/children/index.html
