The scientists are at odds with the FSA, whose recent study on toxicity concluded there was no cause for concern. Scientists are defying government experts to warn that babies are being exposed to high levels of aluminium in formula milk, which they claim could damage their health. Professor Christopher Exley and colleagues from Keele University have looked at the aluminium content of 30 brands of formula milk and say it is too high. Their study follows a similar survey they carried out in 2010, which was limited to 15 products. In the interim, they say, manufacturers have done nothing to reduce the amounts of the chemical to which babies are exposed. They claim aluminium is linked to cancer and Alzheimer's disease in later life. The scientists are at odds with the Food Standards Agency, the government advisory body on safety. Its committee on toxicity recently looked at aluminium in formula milk and concluded there was no cause for concern. |
