Did you know that many U.S. infant formulas contain corn syrup solids? Originally used to mimic lactose for babies with sensitivities, this ingredient is now common in formulas across the country. But emerging research raises concerns about its long-term effects. Studies have shown that formula-fed infants consuming corn syrup solids may face a higher risk of obesity by age 4. One study found a 10% increased risk compared to those on lactose-based formulas. Experts suggest that the rapid digestion of glucose in corn syrup solids could lead to faster weight gain and potentially alter taste preferences, making babies more inclined toward sweet foods later in life. Despite these findings, corn syrup solids remain a prevalent ingredient in U.S. formulas. This video delves into the science behind this trend and its implications for infant health
