141. Cheating Babies Nutritional Quality And Cost Of Commercial Baby Food A report from the Center for science in the Public Interest. http://www.cspinet.org/reports/cheat1.html

CSPI Reports Cheating Babies: Nutritional Quality and Cost of Commercial Baby Food Daryth D. Stallone, Ph.D., M.P.H. Michael F. Jacobson, Ph.D. Executive Summary Conclusions and Recommendations Parents expect baby foods to be just as nutritious as possibleto live up to Heinz' slogan "Only the best ingredients for the best nutrition." This report was intended to inform parents about nutritional differences among types and brands of commercial baby foods and to discourage them from paying high prices for baby food. While our study indicates that some baby foods are diluted, they do not appear to endanger the health of infants, inasmuch as most of infants' nutrition comes from breast milk, formula, or cow's milk. I. Major Findings Gerber and Heinz replace real food with water and thickening agents in many of their products for children over six months of age. Such adulterated products are nutritionally inferior to products made with more fruits and vegetables. Makers of baby food encourage a mystique about their products. They want parents to think that commercial baby foods have special properties that make them particularly appropriate, if not essential, for infants. Advertising campaigns promote the myth that commercial products are especially good at meeting the nutritional and developmental needs of infants. Gerber's public relations and advertising machinery has cultivated an almost sacred image in people's minds of Gerber products. Those perceptions are clearly untrue. Parents, armed with a food processor, blender, or mashing fork, can easily prepare safe, nutritious, and economical food for their infants at home. Of course, many commercial products are nutritious and do fill a need when convenience is desired.

Using food scraps, biochemical engineer Jian Yu and colleagues at the Hawaii Natural Energy Institute in Honolulu have come up with what they claim is an inexpensive way to make a biodegradable polymer. The substance could be used in disposable products such as bottles, wrappers and even surgical instruments, according to the researchers, who recently published their work in the journal Environmental Science and Technology. Plastics engineers with the British company ICI began making this type of polymer about a decade ago, but they used pure sugar and organic acid, a much more costly process. Food waste can reduce the expense by 40 percent, according to the Hawaii researchers. It contains more organic matter that can be easily digested by microbes for polymer biosynthesis, they said.

Liftoff Home STS-38: Pilot Frank Culbertson, and Mission Specialist Charles Gemar eating meal on middeck Food for Space Flight History of Food in Space The Space Shuttle Food System The Shuttle's Menu Food System Constraints As more experience in spaceflight is gained, food systems for space travelers will continue to improve. New foods are being developed and evaluated along with new commercial foods as candidates for the Shuttle food system. Foods are tested for taste, nutritional value, convenience in preparation, storage life, and microbiological safety. The containers for the foods and preparation techniques are also being evaluated. While the science of space nutrition is still relatively young, potential benefits to people on Earth will certainly arise from it. Already, the technology originally developed for spacefoods has found its way into the food market place. Space nutrition research may also help in understanding the problems of deterioration of people restricted to hospitals and nursing homes. The weightless condition of Earth orbit effects the body in much the same way as extended bed rest. Updated September 18, 1995.
