What parents need to know.
Up until now, the AAP's long-standing recommendation was the gold standard. A diverse diet would keep from any of these metals from causing any meaningful damage.
But this new study gives"first-ever estimates of the population-wide decline in IQ from children's exposures to lead and arsenic in food, from birth to 24 months of age." It purports that"even in the trace amounts found in food, these contaminants can alter the developing brain and erode a child's IQ" and noted that it adds up with each meal or snack a baby eats.According to Healthy Babies Bright Futures, parents can offer safer alternatives to their babies.
The study's tests indicate that these simple actions can help lower a baby's exposure to harmful heavy metals significantly: Still, the study cautions parents against panic and admit that this is only one of many elements that can affect a baby's development: "Many factors can influence a child's IQ, from nutrition and genetics to environmental toxins," the report stated."And many sources ratchet up children's exposures to heavy metals, from drinking water and old plastic toys to lead in dust from chipping paint and soil tracked into the house. Our findings raise concerns, but on the spectrum from worry to action, parents can choose to act. While no amount of heavy metals is considered safe, less is better.
