专家警告：配方奶铝含量过高

"It is the attitude of government which is preventing any legislation in relation to exposure to aluminium and human health and this attitude fosters complacency within industry, in this case infant formula manufacturers, allowing them to do nothing about the potential time bomb which is our burgeoning exposure to aluminium."

His team argues that aluminium in baby milk should be reduced to the lowest possible level. In the study, published by BMC Paediatrics , they draw up a league table of formula milk by aluminium content. They found that two soya milk brands had the highest content, but SMA toddler milk and Hipp Organic first infant milk also had high levels. Among ready-to-drink types, SMA toddler milk had the lowest concentration, followed by Hipp Organic first infant milk, Aptamil hungry baby milk, SMA first infant milk and Aptamil first milk.

The growing up milks produced by Cow and Gate and Aptamil had the highest concentrations, with Aptamil toddler milk having almost three times as much aluminium as SMA toddler milk. For powdered milks, Hipp Organic growing up milk had the lowest level, followed by Aptamil hungry, Aptamil first milk and Hipp Organic follow-on milk.

Aluminium is also found in tap water and in breast milk, although the concentration is significantly lower.A spokeswoman for SMA said: "We would like to reassure parents that all SMA infant formula is safe.

"Aluminium occurs naturally in the environment and is present in many fruits, vegetables, packaged foods, beverages and water. We take every precaution to ensure the level of aluminium in our products is kept as low as possible.
