High Levels of Arsenic Found in Organic Baby FormulaHealthy Pregnancy, Baby & Child
A reader emailed me a few days ago asking for a commercial formula brand recommendation since she was going back to work soon and would no longer breastfeed.
My email reply suggested that she make a nourishing, wholesome homemade baby formula. While not as good as breastmilk from a well nourished mother, it is the next best alternative and certainly better than any commercial formulas on the market.
This reader emailed back saying that she didn't have time to make the homemade formula and pressed again for a commercial formula recommendation.
I responded that I could not recommend any commercial formulas, not even the organic ones, and that she really needed to find the time to make the homemade formula or have a relative or friend make it for her as the long term health of her baby depended on it.
As it turns, the reasons for avoiding commercial formulas go far beyond the fact that they are highly allergenic concoctions of denatured milk proteins and rancid vegetable oils not to mention the lifelong endocrine disrupting dangers of soy formulas.
According to reports out just yesterday from researchers at Dartmouth, organic baby formulas contain levels of arsenic six times higher than the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers safe for the water supply.
These high levels of arsenic are due to the inclusion of brown rice syrup, which is the top ingredient in the organic formulas.
Nature's One, the manufacturer of organic baby formula, wrote in response that their California based supplier of brown rice syrup:
… uses qualified, world-renowned, third-party, independent lab to test arsenic levels in their organic brown rice syrup. Their testing results report undetectable amounts of arsenic at laboratory testing limits.
Nature's One went on to say that:
As an organic manufacturer, Nature's One's primary concern is the amount of environmental chemicals ingested by infants, toddlers and children. Parents can rest assured that Nature's One® will test arsenic levels for every lot of organic brown rice syrup and organic rice oligodextrin prior to production.
Who to believe?? Should we believe the researchers who found dangerous levels of arsenic in the organic baby formulas or the manufacturer who insists that undetectable levels of arsenic are in the brown rice syrup they use to manufacture the baby formula.
Best not to try and figure out the truth in this situation and just make your own homemade baby formula with wholesome, natural ingredients.
When food is processed in a factory, there is always the risk of something going wrong even when organic ingredients are used.
For your precious, vulnerable baby, the risk from any factory produced foods is too high. Remember the baby that died just a few weeks ago from tainted commercial formula that the mother purchased at Walmart. A parent carefully preparing a homemade baby formula in her own kitchen will always be an infinitely better, safer, and healthier choice than anything that is produced in a factory.

Thank you for the write up. I surely agree with what you're saying. I have been talking about this subject a lot these days with my brother so ideally this will get him to see my point of view. Fingers crossed!
Just a correction to your claim that commercial formula killed that poor baby- the investigation found that the formula itself was not contaminated, but that the bacteria came from the kitchen surface of the home. So even if that mother had used homemade infant formula, she would have still caused her own baby's death. It's almost unthinkable that something in your own home can cause such a horrible outcome, but the formula was not the culprit in this case.

Hi Sarah,
Just wanted to follow up and give you the latest on this:
Nature's One® continues to pursue its mission to make organic better. Today the company confirms its new organic-compliant filtration technology reduces organic and inorganic arsenic found in brown rice syrup to undetectable levels of less than 4 parts-per-billion.
Nature's One was founded on the principle of ensuring its products are formulated with the purest ingredients possible. Its advanced filtering process establishes the highest purity standard for rice used in organic infant foods and formulas. This new industry standard is well below the EPA's drinking water regulation for arsenic. Learn more: http://naturesone.com/brown-rice/.

If a mother cannot or will not breastfeed, pump, or make homemade formula, what about breast milk banks? Milk from a donor mother of course varies according to her diet, but perhaps some of these resources allow you to find a local donor who matches what you're looking for, sort of like a wet-nurse back in the day? Thoughts?

I supplemented my daughter with the Baby's Only Formula when I could not make enough milk to feed her secondary to PCOS, hypothyroidism, and having had pre-eclampsia. At the time it was the highest quality formula I could find. I was not aware of the Weston A. Price Foundation at the time. I had no idea that making homemade formula was even a possibility until I found the WAPF. In addition to baby formula, rice is used as an ingredient in many store-bought foods. I agree with Danny's comment above: organic or not, store-bought foods are risky . . . and not just to babies:-(
I too returned to work when my infants were 6 weeks old. I am a physicians and would sometimes work 30 hours straight. But, the healt of my babies (I have 3) was so important that I pumped whenever I could, even while driving (my electric pump was a lifesaver)! There is never a good enough excuse to not sacrifice when you physically can provide. But, I would definitely do the homemade formula if I could not! You only get one opportunity to grow up a good child!

Milk sharing. Or here:
I did this with my baby. It helped so much when I couldn't express because of a reduction. These mama's donate freely for the sake of other's babies. Each state has a hm4hb Facebook page too to ask for or announce donations. Some will ship on dry ice, some will let you come pick up, some will even drive part way to meet you if you are in need.
Thank you, Heather – that's exactly how I've been feeling about all of this!
I just want to reassure those out there completely overwhelmed at the prospect of making formula from difficult/impossible to find ingredients that it's going to be ok. I adopted 2 infants 1 month and 3 months old. I tried my darndest to induce lactation, but only got up to about 4 oz a day. We could barely afford commercial formula from Costco after the cost of the adoption, and this was years before I knew about WAPF stuff. My kids are 5 now, and they are doing great. There is no way we could have afforded to bring them into our family if we were eating the way we do now, or if we felt like we had to make homemade formula. I was so completely overwhelmed as a new mother I don't think I could have taken on one more thing.
I think you have to do your very best, make every effort possible, and then send a prayer out to bless your efforts. Priorities change over seasons in your family's lives. I probably would at least try to make formula if we were to adopt again, but we are much more financially stable right now, and we are much further along our real food journey.
You have to find balance in all of this. I often have to stand back and consider…am I serving the food, or is the food serving us? If God can create a universe then he can magnify the efforts I make to nourish my family. He will guide me to the truth and then help me find a way to implement it, but it doesn't have to be all overnight.
Feeding my family the best way I know how is really important to me and I spend a lot of time and money trying to feed them the best that I can…but if I am completely stressed out, crazy mean mom because I'm trying to do every thing perfectly, then I'm not nourishing them emotionally. Also, if I am putting my family in financial risk by spending a ton of money on food, then I'm not serving them well.
All I am trying to say is that I really think if you do your very best…even if others may criticize you…it's okay. Hang in there!
Love what you said "If God can create a universe then he can magnify the efforts I make to nourish my family". What an amazing statement! Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you so much for your insight.

For infants, goat milk is the closest to human milk and the easiest to tolerate. I even find that fresh raw goat milk is is tastier and feels better during digestion than fresh raw cow milk. The downside with goat milk is that you do not get all that delisious cream on the top though for butter and such. One husband I know actually took the initiative to go buy two lactating goats so that his nursing wife and babies would have the freshest milk possible. It was also the best way to know the animal producing the milk was feeding on good organic grass and feed, passing down the nutrition in the milk. I understand that this is not an option for most people, but I think a lot of people overlook it as an option too. The animals also provided manure for gardening, green mowing survives, extra milk for cheese and keffir, and a valuable commodity to trade with foody friends for garden produce or even a little help around the property.
I don't think any accusations were being made for women who are in situations where breast feeding is/was not possible. Poster attempted to speak to the all the varied situations that might then require formula. I see Sarah's report as an alert on information we may not have been aware of previously. Now with this information, we can make some decisions for our family as to alternatives and how to move forward. I do not see it as an indictment on anyone's current or past choices. We are all trying to find our way in a society that has ill-equipped us for the optimal nutruing of our children from pre-preganancy diet, to pre-natal care and preganancy, to delivery, to post preganancy diet and care of children. Thanks Sarah for this very helpful post.
@Molly…some of us have to feed our children formula because we aren't able to breastfeed not because we don't have time to. I pumped for my son for 7-1/2 months but it was making me sick and I could no longer do it (and my milk wasn't healthy since I wasn't healthy). I tried everything to get him to breastfeed but he had a posterior tongue tie and once we got him clipped he would no longer latch on. By the time I went back to work, my milk supply dropped anyway and I had to supplement with formula. I work full time and my husband stays home full time with the kids because I had the higher income at the time and in this economy my husband cannot find a job making what I make. I would love to make homemade formula but I can barely afford commercial formula and raw milk in CA (I live in San Diego) costs about $5 for a pint, plus I would need to then buy all the other ingredients to go along with it. But believe me, the health of my child is very important. I do make all of his baby food…he will never eat jarred food. We do the best we can do for our children in the best way we can. But please don't assume all of us who use formula do so because "we don't have time" to make homemade formula or breastfeed.

I found out the hard way what was in commercial baby formula after my baby because sick and even hospitalized. You can read my story on my website. The good news is it inspired me to start my own line of PURE, HANDMADE, Truly Organic baby formula. After my daughter was healed I was told time and time again when people heard my story how much this product is needed. I agree. http://www.designedbynature.net.
Good Luck and stay strong. We can flight getting nourishing foods back to our children and healing them with real food!
Dara Ree
Hi Dara! I checked out your website and it looks like what you are selling is the homemade WAP recipe – that's a great option for people who can't access the ingredients or don't have time to make it themselves! I have a question though… WAP suggests making it fresh daily and not freezing it, so how do you get around that with yours? I'm just wondering because that was my issue with it before my daughter started refusing it, I just didn't have time to do it daily being that I had to culture the milk.
Thanks in advance!
P.S. Congrats on your beautiful little girl and finding something that helped her!

One thing to consider in light of producer's comments: Is industrial ag starting to wage a war on organic products/produce like the dairy industry is waging a war on raw dairy? Someone should look into who did the research. Here our State Dairy inspectors found e-coli in the milk of our local raw dairy but the dairy has their own independent tests and no e-coli was ever found. If there are these high levels then I would be concerned about all products containing brown rice syrup.
Molly Ellick
If you don't "have the time" to breastfeed, pump, or at the least, make your own baby formula, you don't have the time required to be a mom. We have a nation FULL of sick, drugged, and dying children because moms don't "have the time" to adequately care for them. If women went about their jobs like they went about their parenting they would be fired. Which area of our lives deserve more emphasis, our career or the health of our children? Which area is more important??
This is sad.
I used to fortify commercial formula for my second daughter, using recipe in nourishing traditions. We did not have any raw milk available in Canada at that time. She was born premature, at 7 months and I had to pump milk for 4 months until I was very tired (I also had a 1.5 year old at that time). So I started fortifying formula and she is a healthy smart happy 7 year old now.
Sorry another question just popped in my head, how do we know that the cholesterol is rancid, or what evidence is there for that? If there is a certain source to refer me to that would help, and I can read about that further. I just wanted to know case I want to explain why I am buying the milk I buy to someone else. Thanks for your time:)
Beth Stowers
Whenever I have bought any milk (organic or not) that is both pasteurized and homogenized, it smells somewhat sour to me. This seems to be the case with any milk I've tried. Some brands smell worse than others.
Then, we started buying either raw milk (when we can get it) or non-homogenized milk. Any of those DO NOT have that sour-ish smell.
I wondered about this until I read the Mother Earth News article about raw milk (http://www.motherearthnews.com/real-food/real-milk-zmrz11zalt.aspx?page=4). The author states,
"Homogenizing milk disrupts the chemical structure of milkfat so drastically that it releases a torrent of enzymes that promptly turn raw milk rancid."
And I like what Sara (The Health Home Economist) says about making the cholesterol turn rancid too.
If homogenization makes milk do that (AND it makes it taste and smell so funky), I won't drink it. And I believe the rancidity is why it does smell sour.
I hope this is helpful!
Thank you for taking the time to explain that!

I wasn't able to breastfeed my babes for reasons which are none of your business. And no one will make me feel bad and guilty for not being able to breastfeed. I now do everything to give my boys the most nourshing diet possible. Breastmilk is best but if it's not possible then you should expect that your baby's formula will be arsenic free.
I just ordered and am waiting for the gallon size of Natural by Mature milk through my local health food store at $9.00 a gallon, but I realized the gallons may be homogenized. It looks like it has to be the quart size glass jars to be not homogenized.
QUESTION: Is homogenized really that bad?
I go through 3 gallons milk weekly, and I know that is going to be even more expensive to get 12 quart size glass jars each week. Raw milk is illegal where I live, so that is not an option for me.
QUESTION: Also should people be feeding this formula to children beyond 1 yrs as a supplement, whether nursing or not?
Thanks for taking the time to share your wealth of knowledge!
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
Yes, homogenized is really that bad.
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
I guess I should elaborate. Homogenization forces the molecules of fat in the cream to be very small so that is evenly disperses throughout the milk and does not come to the top and form a creamline as with raw milk. The problem with this is that it turns the cholesterol in the cream rancid. Rancid cholesterol is what is dangerous and should not be consumed particularly by a growing baby whose brain needs whole, unprocessed cholesterol for a correctly functioning neurological system. Rancid cholesterol is also linked to cardiovascular problems among other inflammatory conditions.
Thank you explaining that further, that motivates to look into getting the non-homogenized when I place the next order.
If she doesn't have time to pump and continue breastfeeding, and she doesn't have time to make the formula recipe you recommended to her, she could use just plain real raw goat milk. That's what I did if ever I couldn't breastfeed for a time. Sometimes I even added an egg yolk to the goat milk and blended it in by hand with a wire whip. But I never gave up breastfeeding entirely with any of my three kids. The goat milk, however, would still be a better answer than anything processed. Wonder if she would have access to it?
I posted that same article on my forum last night. There is also cupric sulfate in even the organic baby formulas, as well as the algae concocted DHA and ARA which is now causing problems, as well. Something about mold, but I couldn't find the article to share it here.
Still, powdered formulas are loaded with synthetic vitamins (they use dl-tocopherol or even dl alpha tocopherol for the vitamin E – most, maybe all vitamin E supplements are derived from soy) and they use vitamin D2 instead of D3 (but lots of young people don't realize there is a difference) not that D2 is bad, but it's simply not the same thing as D3. I am not a fan of too many supplements in the first place, but synthetic supplements – really? Does a baby's body know what to do with those? Heck, MY body doesn't know what to do with those! That's why we try to eat well-rounded meals and not worry too much about supplements. But babies don't have that luxury, so when mom foolishly stops breastfeeding (so many women can't, so it's always a shame to see someone stop) the baby is the one who suffers. I see it all the time though, and it breaks my heart.
I just heard the report last night and am sick to my stomach… I breastfeed as much as I'm able to but my supply has been low from the beginning and I've had to supplement. I would say on average, 40-50% of my daughter's bottles since one month of age have been Baby's Only Organic, on the recommendation of the Weston A. Price Organization. I feel duped. I know that hurting our babies was not the intention of WAP or Nature's One, but who can we trust anymore?? I spent $250 on ingredients for the homemade formula, $100 speaking with nutritionists to ensure it was indeed safe and healthy for my daughter, and countless hours culturing my milk since I also don't have easy access to raw, and as it turns out, my daughter can't stand the stuff! She absolutely refused her bottles and would only eat at the breast or if I filled them with Baby's Only. So, I can say with a clear conscience that I have done all I could do to give her the best nutrition possible, and it seems I'm being roadblocked at every turn. I agree with those who chant "breast is best!", and I give her as much of my milk as I've been able, but now that this formula has come out as being tainted, what am I supposed to feed my baby girl? She is eight months old… what is the absolute minimum age to convert to regular milk? I will attempt the broth formula this weekend… I am willing to do whatever I have to to make sure she receives the best nutrition possible. Thank you in advance for any advice you may have.
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
Please note that the Weston A. Price Foundation ONLY recommends Baby's Only as a STOPGAP until all ingredients for homemade formula can be procured. Never ever ever ever ever ever as a formula to use long term.
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
Almost everyone in America who can't get raw milk can STILL can get access to low temp nonhomogenized whole milk by asking their local healthfood store to order it in for them in glass bottles. This can be cultured with piima or yogurt or kefir cultures and then used as the base for the homemade formula.
As I mentioned, I did all of that, made two double batches of the formula using cultured milk, and was forced to throw it all out because my daughter would not eat it. I'm just trying to elaborate that there are reasons beyond selfishness and lack of time or initiative that force some parents to need an alternative food source to the homemade formula.
Thank you for the reply.
Molly Ellick
There are online communities where those women blessed with excess milk, and a desire to help other babies, donate and sell their breast milk! if you can buy that, why buy formula? Here is one:
I would love to do that Molly, but my husband has been laid off for three years and I struggle to pay for the formula. I will find a way, however, if that's the only healthy option – thanks for the recommendation!
Also, the WAP website could use a redesign. They are very vague on many aspects of the homemade formula (for instance, in regards to the Baby's Only Organic, the website states "This stopgap formula can be used in emergencies, or when the ingredients for homemade formula are unavailable." Okay, the last part of that sentence seems to confer that it is acceptable if the homemade is not an option, which is wasn't with my baby as she hated it – never did I think this was not a long-term option from the information they provide on the site), and it is not very easy to get somebody on the phone. I've tried calling a few times for clarification on this or that and was always directed first to the website and next, to someone without voicemail that doesn't seem to ever be at their phone. I love the fact that WAP is trying to educate people and offer healthier alternatives, but I think it can be dangerous to put incomplete or confusing information out there and leave readers to fill in the blanks on their own. It would be wonderful if knowedgeable people were available to answer questions whose answers are not clear on the website.

We sell ours for $10, but most places around here are charging between 12-18 for a half gallon.
Living in the Dartmouth community, I can also say that the word that is spreading is that the arsenic is in the brown rice-period. After emailing Lundberg rice company directly, a friend discovered that they do not even test their rice. Bummer.

The very first time I read about formula was when I was in college, studying how Nestle used evil PR practices to get women in India to stop breastfeeding their children and use formula. As a result, many babies and children got sick because the women were using tainted water to mix in with the formula. They also targeted poorer women, who did not have access to cleaner water. Nestle has done (and does) this in other countries, as well. And they generally try to cover it up.
This alone was enough to help me decide to never feed commercial formula to my babies! We have been blessed to be able to breastfeed long term.
Nestle just keeps on going too! I was very shocked to go the regular grocery store and see that Nestle has a new product on the shelves. It's marketed to the Hispanic population and is nothing more than more additives, preservatives, sterile food and high sugar (aka "garbage"). It's made for younger children as some sort of a new "nutritional drink." I can't recall the name of it, but I did take a picture of it (because I was so appalled).
Last night, I read the article about arsenic found in baby formula. In addition to baby formula, testers found it in energy bars, rice syrup (of course) and a few different brands of energy gel. They said white rice is better to use, because the arsenic is more concentrated in the rice bran.
Thank you for posting this and for the links to homemade baby formula!

I am fortunate to have a great source of raw milk in my area, but for those who don't, Beyond Organic has a great product called Amasi that is wonderful for children. My grandson likes it and it can be given to babies (except the Milk & Honey flavor for obvious reasons). You can find it at http://www.lynnallen.mybeyondorganic.com along with other wonderful products. These foods are grass FINISHED, meaning they are not finished off with grains that may contain GMOs.

We get ours for 5 dollars a gallon and about a 2 cups of fresh butter for 2.50 a pack. It's awesome. We are getting a cow from them in May. We are very happy to have them.
I am truly hoping that this will wake people up. Even if it isn't in all baby formula. Too many moms choose to formula feed mostly due to convenience. They want their me time and need their "space". I'm sorry but when did mom consist of "me" time and space. I have 2 kids at my hips 10 hours a day while homeschooling 3 others, work from home and do house work. The best part of it all is I LOVE IT.
I hope more people would open their eyes that breast is best. Everything in there is enough for the baby.

Bottom line is who has time for these he said, she said types of news items. Best to be sure and either breastfeed (best IF you are well nourished and healthy) or make a homemade formula with wholesome ingredients from a small local farm.

The FDA is claiming that raw milk is a health hazard as ridiculous as that is. People have been drinking it since time began and they've recently proved it's super health benefits. The gov't is attacking co-ops, farmers, sellers etc, whether they are legally selling or producing. My guess is that, like everything, if they don't control it – they don't want anyone else too. Monsanto being so intertwined with gov't and policy and Big Food will ultimately ruin our food supply. GMOs are big money for them and this includes meats and dairy. If you google it there are tons of stories about them shutting down raw milk producers illegally and bullying them to keep quiet about the raids. The gov't makes 20% if its economy from Big Food. Monsanto is a huge chunk of that. They are now trying to get their GMO products to be OK'd for organic use. Hopefully if enough of us stand up for our rights to clean, healthy foods, maybe it won't happen.
thehealthyhomeeconomist via Facebook
@Anastasia Good point .. I am skeptical of the research too but someone is lying here .. either the researchers (who funded them? nonorganic commercial formula companies?) or the company that supplies the brown rice syrup to Nature's One which claims negligible levels of arsenic based on their own test. Hard to know as both sides have a profit motive for deception.

Wow! I need to be very thankful that our grassfed raw milk is only $7 a gallon and will drop back to $6 in the spring!
Stanley Fishman
Very important post. This is proof that food processing can make even organic products questionable, to say the least. Obviously, no baby or human being, for that matter, should be ingesting arsenic. I doubt very much that there is any safe level of arsenic, one of the deadliest poisons known to humanity.
The other problem is that there may be other things wrong with organic formulas that have not been discovered yet. The health of US children is the worse it has ever been, and is deteriorating. Nutrition is important at all times, but never as crucial as it is for a baby. Poor nutrition and toxins can create huge problems that our ignorant, corrupt, arrogant medical system cannot cure. Good nutrition from day one builds a strong body with healthy natural functions which is by far the best protection against illness, environmental toxins, physical injury, mental problems, and everything else.

It's easy to say breastfeed breastfeed when you have ONE baby and you have adequate milk. I had TWO babies, twins, and my body didn't cooperate and didn't produce enough milk. I pumped every two hours, took herbs, everything….still not enough. Breastfeeding exclusively is not a viable option for all mothers. And I find it so offensive that in this organic community you are made to feel small if you cannot exclusively breastfeed. I wish when my children were babies I would have known about homemade formula but unfortunately I didn't. I sought advice from a very holistic pediatrician-completely organic, real food Dr to supplement what my just didn't produce and she stated the best formula was this exact brand in the news lastnight. And I believed her and used it. We do have a raw goat milk share now as I have learned over the past 6 months….however….I did what I thought to be best at the time. I hope that not one baby is affected by this finding.
Exactly! THANK YOU! When some mothers don't exclusively breastfeed or HAVE to supplement, it's not ALWAYS because they are "inconvenienced," "ignorant," or "lazy." Sometimes it's just not possible. We do the very best that we can.

I feel so lucky that I have been able to breastfeed my daughter. All of the babies I know that are on traditional formula have so many digestion problems, and many end up on acid reflux medicine. All the more reason for mothers to work to make their own if they aren't able to breast feed.

Breastfeed your chidren, problem solved. Human milk for human babies, cow's milk for baby calves.
I breast feed all of my kids. I pumped when I went back to work but that might be hard for alot of women. Also, some women have trouble nursing.
Do anyone think the arsenic problem is from plants grown out of the US?
It is my understanding that arsenic in rice is actually a problem with rice grown in the US, on former cotton fields where arsenic-laden pesticide use has contaminated the soil. I try to buy locally, mostly, but will buy rice from overseas before I buy rice that might have been grown in American cotton country.
I breastfed my first son for 3 years (home for 5 months, then pumped for over 6 months, then BF when I was home). I got 'lucky' with my second and because I was let go from work, I stayed home with him for 10.5 months. I then pumped for 3 or 4 months (only planned 1-2 months but it was going well so I kept at it). I'm still BF him at home and he's 2. It can be done!!! Only in very extreme cases (lots of stress, travel, etc. or just no being able to BF at all) will it be too much. With proper support (knowledge, nutrition, rest, etc.) it can be done!!! A friend at my former work BFd her first exclusively then supplemented some with her 2nd and 3rd child. Again, BF can be done!! My simply goal was to BF for at least a year. I was not going to accept substitutes. Of course the raw milk formula was always at the back of my mind but I didn't have to use it after all…
Don't forget babies will wait longer between feeds when you are not around. Mine would go 4-5 hours, no problem. If you can get to them midday, you may not need to make formula…
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
Yes, local nonhomogenized low temp pasteurized whole milk recultured with piima or yogurt cultures and then using this as the base for the formula would be a better option than the powdered formulas.
If that doesn't work or causes upset, use the homemade broth based, hypoallergenic formula.
Hi, Sarah! I'm wondering how to I make my own baby formula when I have no way of getting Raw Milk? It is illegal to sell in my state and my family cannot afford a herdshare, as it is almost $18 per gallon of milk. We're on a tight budget with two children and it's very hard to justify paying that much for raw milk. Any suggestions? Thank you!

after watching "Thrive" I am skeptical of any "research" group at all, especially when they pinpoint organics. That being said, I encourage all mothers to breastfeed as long as possible.

2 years now my son has only been on grass fed raw milk, and he has not been sick at all since them No vaccines, no pediatricians, just letting real food be is healer.
Sarah Kinney Wilbur via Facebook
Read that this morning, too. I agree…homemade formula is next best alternative. Did that for my last baby, using raw milk, until we discovered she had dairy allergies. (prior to the raw milk intro) Got her on goat milk when she was able, and she did much better.
Lisa Wilson via Facebook
It's in the soil so it's going to be in the food, esp. stuff bought at walmart , as China has lots of air pollution from all the factories .
Lori Wasserman via Facebook
That and the fact that the new FDA Food Czar is a Monsanto Lawyer who just launched a campaign, shutting down raw milk producers…
Sadly I have supplemented with this formula because I am a nursing mother that had to report back to work full time. It makes me sick and feeling defeated. I tried so hard to go the route of making my own, if though purse strings were tight, for purchasing the ingredients. I could not find a raw milk source anywhere near me. It is illegal in my state and I had no help when I contacted local WAPF 'leaders' in my area, 75 mile or so radius I looked up and contacted all listed I was disappointed none of them were interested in trying to help me locate a raw milk source and I don't know if it was because the sale of raw milk is illegal on OH or what?
*Even though
Did you try sourcing grassfed pasteurized/unhomogenized milk and re-culturing it with pima or yogurt? In a pinch one of my girlfriends sometimes uses non-ultrapasteurized goatmilk when she runs out of raw (fortunately we have a semi-local farm that supplies our Whole Foods) and adds the raw liver for b12.
Even pasteurized (non-ultra) milk is better than powdered.
We do have a fairly close dairy that sells grassfed unhomogenized milk but I wasn't sure if that was acceptable or would be too harsh on his stomach. I am wondering, he is 11.5 months now — wondering if it would be better to just work on switching him to this milk period? Or is it too soon. I am about all but dried up. :/
If you culture the milk it should bring it back to life somewhat and especially if it isn't unhomogenized, he should handle it well. You can always try goat milk if the cow's milk doesn't work well. Anne Marie from Cheeseslave gave her daughter the raw milk formula until she was 2 or so. I think her reasoning was that had she been able to breastfeed she would have until her daughter was at least 2. Read the WAPF page for all the information http://www.westonaprice.org/childrens-health/recipes-for-homemade-baby-formula
I understand the feeling. We used to live in OH and I tried my best to find local raw milk. It was frustrating because we lived in a rural area with farms but they refused to sell it, because yes, it's illegal. We moved to PA and it's totally different story here..you can even purchase raw milk from the local stores.
In OH, you must buy a herdshare to get raw milk legally. Look at realmilk.com to find a source. The WAPF chapter leader in Columbus recommended a source to me a couple years ago, and I also found it on realmilk.com. I get my milk in Mt. Gilead for a less money than it would cost to buy non-homogenized, lightly pasteurized organic milk at the store, and I share driving with others so I only have to make the trip less than once a month.
Amy Jo via Facebook
Exactly. I used this organic Natures One Babys Only formula for 6 months at the recommendation of a holistic pediatrician saying that it was the best on the market. I had twins and couldn't produce enough milk for them both despite my best efforts. And now this…………Wtf?!
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
I've had a flood of emails in the past 12 hours since this report came out via ABC News about where to find raw grassfed milk from frantic mothers who need to immediately stop using the organic baby formulas that they thought were safe!
Reason #153,159,541 why I will never, ever feed my babies commercial formula of ANY sort. NO guesswork is to be involved in ANYTHING that goes into my babies' precious bodies. I have to KNOW I'm giving them only the very best, no matter what sacrifices I may have to make.
Rebecca C
Not to mention, it takes 10 minutes to make a batch. Plus you can freeze it for times when you truly don't have time (not very often).

Sebastian Vettel was four-tenths of a second clear of team-mate Mark Webber with Lewis Hamilton, in third on his Mercedes debut, the only other man within a second of the world champion.
The German timed his qualifying run in drying conditions perfectly, striking late and watching his rivals try and fail to topple his mark, before easing off his last lap and heading into the pits.
The two Ferraris completed the top five, with Felipe Massa outqualifying his more illustrious team-mate Fernando Alonso.
Nico Rosberg, who had topped Q1 and Q2, could not get his final session right and ended a disappointing sixth, ahead of the two Lotuses of Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean, with Brits Paul di Resta and Jenson Button rounding out the top 10.
The conditions were much-improved from Saturday evening, when qualifying was postponed after Q1, but were still far from dry.
The weather was overcast, the track damp, and a few spots of rain hung in the air.
A train of cars waited on the pit lane with intermediate tyres in case the weather worsened, but in fact they improved as Q2 wore on, meaning the top positions were in a continual state of flux, and the drivers on track solidly throughout the 15 minutes.
Mercedes – and particularly Rosberg – were pacy throughout, with their closest rivals Red Bull also comfortably ahead of the field.
McLaren gambled on slick tyres, but while Button quickly realised the error of his ways and put in a time that sufficed on intermediates, Sergio Perez persisted and slipped all over the street track, eventually limping out in 15th place.
Most drivers went out early on Q3, sticking with intermediates, but with the early times a clear couple of seconds faster than they had been in the previous session, the switch to slicks was inevitable.
Button, who had stayed in the pits, went first with five minutes to go – his rivals swiftly followed.
And, in fact, the McLaren man found that, with the track getting quicker all the time, he had in fact gone out too early. For a brief moment he slipped in ahead of Vettel and into pole position, only for every other driver to pass him by.
Hamilton took three seconds out of his time, but when Vettel responded by sweeping a further 1.7 seconds clear, there was no way back.
The times continued to drop, but nobody could touch the three-times world champion – and on the strength of this performance, the same may well prove to be true when the race takes place later this evening.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) - Thunderstorms are threatening to delay NASA's planned launch Saturday of space shuttle Endeavour.
Endeavour is back from a series of hydrogen gas leaks for a third launch attempt. But forecasters say there is a 60 percent chance that storms could force a postponement.
Launch manager Mike Moses said Friday that he's not worrying about the weather since there's nothing he can do about it - even if his name is Moses.
Endeavour is a full month late in blasting off to the international space station. The shuttle and its crew will deliver and install the third and final piece of Japan's huge space station lab.
Seven shuttle astronauts plus six station residents will make for the biggest crowd ever in orbit.

Joao Henriques, Associated Press
LISBON, Portugal — Political trouble that shook the Irish and Portuguese governments over the weekend could be a warning sign for other European governments facing voters angry about cutbacks, analysts said Monday.
The turmoil may make it harder for countries to move forward with recovery from the crisis.
"Markets want to see a clear commitment to fiscal tightening, and any political instability or social opposition can delay measures being implemented," said Emilie Gay, an analyst at Capital Economics in London.
She said investors are nervous about political uncertainty in debt-stressed eurozone countries, including Belgium — where political squabbling has left the country without a government for the past seven months.
After months of strikes over unpopular austerity measures, the governing Socialist Party's candidate in Portugal's presidential election lost heavily Sunday, collecting just 20 percent of the vote behind 53 percent for an incumbent backed by the main opposition Social Democratic Party. Both parties remain committed to budget cutbacks despite public dissatisfaction.
Ireland's prime minister, who is blamed for his country's slide toward bankruptcy after a construction bubble burst, suffered a major setback when the Green Party withdrew from his coalition government. The Sunday pullout is almost certain to move up the date of a national election, and Ireland must now pass a critical tax-raising bill before parliament is dissolved this month in order to reassure international investors that Ireland is serious tackling its deficit.
The setbacks in Portugal and Ireland likely herald more protest votes against European governments as austerity plans begin to bite and stretch over years of financial readjustment, said Vanessa Rossi, a senior research fellow at Chatham House, a London-based think tank. Portugal and Ireland have been forced to adopt austerity measures including pay cuts, tax hikes and reduced welfare entitlements.
"It's very obvious we're going to get a lot of backlash against governments because of what's happened," Rossi said in a telephone interview Monday. "I think this build-up of anti-austerity votes will continue."
Attention is turning to upcoming state elections in Germany, Europe's paymaster, where the troubled coalition government may need to stump up more rescue money to protect the 17-nation euro currency.
Seven of the country's 16 states hold elections this year, providing a series of tests from February through September.
Polls suggest that Chancellor Angela Merkel's center-right coalition can expect a rough ride due largely to local issues, annoyance with the government about unpopular decisions such as extending the life of nuclear power stations, and the unpopularity of the junior coalition partner, the Free Democrats.
Still, her government will be eager to avoid annoying voters uneasy about sinking billions more into rescue packages without securing tangible reform in return.
In addition, Germany's highest court is expected to consider in coming months complaints filed against the bailout of Greece, and creation of a euro rescue fund.
"Merkel faces pressure on two sides — from the population, which views with little sympathy what from my point of view is to some extent inevitable, because something has to be done to save the euro ... and also from potential decisions by the Federal Constitutional Court," said Gerd Langguth, a politics professor at the University of Bonn.
France, another other major European power, doesn't face presidential and legislative elections until next year. But President Nicolas Sarkozy is already treading carefully as 61 percent of French have a negative opinion of him, according to a survey by polling agency BVA.
The most acute political problems are likely to emerge in the bloc's financially weakest members.

The Colorado State University Student Conduct Code applies to conduct that occurs on University premises and at University-sponsored programs or activities. It also applies to off-campus conduct that adversely affects the University community, poses a threat to persons or property, or may damage the institution's reputation or relationship with the greater community. In addition, Colorado State University, in collaboration with the Fort Collins community, may respond to student violations of community-based laws and ordinances designed to protect civility and quality of life. The Director (or designee) decides whether the Student Conduct Code applies to off-campus conduct on a case-by-case basis.
The University holds each student accountable to the Student Conduct Code from application for admission through the actual awarding of a degree. This includes periods before classes begin or after classes end, during the academic year, and between terms of actual enrollment. The disciplinary process may proceed even if the student withdraws from school while a disciplinary matter is pending.
Academic units
Academic faculty, departments and colleges are responsible for establishing orderly procedures for academic and classroom discipline. Each instructor is primarily responsible for communicating standards of academic integrity and classroom behavior, implementing University policy, and responding to behavioral issues. Instructors may consult with and/or refer matters to Conflict Resolution and Student Conduct Services to consider University disciplinary charges or other means of conflict resolution. Faculty actions related to classroom discipline are reported to Conflict Resolution and Student Conduct Services and kept as part of the student disciplinary record.
Procedures for academic misconduct cases are also detailed in the Colorado State University Faculty and Administrative Professional Manual, General Catalog, the Graduate and Professional Bulletin, the Honor Code of the Professional Veterinary Medicine Program, and the School of Public Health as applicable.
Violation of Law and Colorado State University Discipline
A student may face both University disciplinary proceedings and criminal or civil litigation charges, since the same factual situation may allegedly violate both the Student Conduct Code and criminal or civil law. University discipline proceedings may happen before, during, or after civil or criminal proceedings. These proceedings are entirely separate; legal outcomes do not affect the university discipline process.
Interim Suspensions
When serious charges are filed against a student, whether criminal, civil, or conduct the Director (or designee) may temporarily suspend the student from all or part of the University, including residence halls, until those charges are resolved.
The student is suspended from residing, dining, or being near University residence halls until the charges are resolved. The student does not lose other University privileges and may attend classes. If the student is under 21, the Director of Residence Life notifies the student's parents of the interim residential suspension. The student must arrange and pay for off-campus housing.
The student is denied access to campus, classes, and University activities and privileges until the charges are resolved.
The following conditions may warrant interim suspension:

I bought this for my two yr old grandchild. He loves it and can ride it because of the two wheels on the back. It is very sturdy and what you expect from Fisher Price. It also will be easy to reposition the wheels for later. I shopped around and Walmart was again the best place!
I purchased this for my 4 year old grandson and he loves it. The handle bar is adjustable and I love that when he is comfortable changing to a 2 wheel, it will convert from a 3 wheel to a 2 wheel. It is sturdy and is a great buy!

Public Swimming pools are fun for summer, but they can also be breeding grounds for parasites that can make you sick. The CDC reports the number of outbreaks of illness in 1896 was only two, but in 2000 it had gone up to 21.
"I do think the pool needs to be clean. My little boy got sick at a public pool. He got strep throat last year. It's a very big concern to me," Jenny Lawyer says.
Jenny Lawyer takes her son and daughter to the pool almost every day and has for the past two years. She says it's extremely important to her, as a mother, to have the pool clean.
Lawyer says, "I'd rather it be clean. I don't mind them shutting down. We've had it shut down a couple of times and it's okay."
The biggest problem in most pools is fecal accidents. When an accident like this occurs at Russell Sims Aquatic Park they follow these precautions.
Tim Leek is the Aquatic Facility Operator at Russell Sims. He says, "The first thing we do is remove all patrons from the pool itself. We shut down all the pumps except for the filtration system. Then we locate where the fecal accident was. We remove the fecal accident put it inside bags then we super chlorinate the area with bleach water."
David Burton, of the Barren River Health Department says, "In Kentucky we do not have a specific requirement in the regulation or in the statute that says specifically you have to close a pool for a certain number of hours or minutes."
The most common illnesses associated with pools are Cryptosporidium, Giardia, Hepatitis A, and e-Coli.
Burton says, "That's on everyone's mind. That's the contaminant that created a problem in the Atlanta water park a few years ago."
The next time you go swimming, be informed. Learn more about these illnesses and how to protect yourself and your family.

Recreational Water Illnesses (RWIs)
What are they?
- RWIs are illnesses that are spread by swallowing, breathing, or having contact with contaminated water from swimming pools, spas, lakes, rivers, or oceans. Recreational water illnesses can cause a wide variety of symptoms, including skin, ear, respiratory, eye, and wound infections. The most commonly reported RWI is diarrhea. Diarrheal illnesses can be caused by germs such as:
- Crypto, short for Cryptosporidium, is found in infected people's stool and cannot be seen by the naked eye. This germ is protected by an outer shell that allows it to survive for long periods of time and makes it resistant to chlorine disinfection. It can be spread by swallowing contaminated recreational water.
- Giardia is found in infected people's stool and cannot be seen by the naked eye. During the past two decades, it has become recognized as one of the most common causes of waterborne illness (drinking water and recreational water) in the United States. This germ is protected by an outer shell that allows it to survive outside the body and in the environment for long periods of time. It can be spread by swallowing contaminated recreational water.
- Shigellosis is an infectious disease caused by a group of bacteria called Shigella. Most who are infected with Shigella develop diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps starting a day or two after they are exposed to the bacterium. The diarrhea is often bloody. Shigellosis usually resolves in 5 to 7 days. In some persons, especially young children and the elderly, the diarrhea can be so severe that the patient needs to be hospitalized. It can be spread by swallowing contaminated recreational water.
- Escherichia coli O157:H7 is an emerging cause of foodborne illness. An estimated 73,000 cases of infection and 61 deaths occur in the United States each year. Infection often leads to bloody diarrhea, and occasionally to kidney failure. Most illness has been associated with eating undercooked, contaminated ground beef. Person-to-person contact in families and child care centers is also an important mode of transmission. Infection can also occur after drinking raw milk and after swimming in or drinking sewage-contaminated water. It can be spread by swallowing contaminated recreational water.
Why doesn't chlorine kill these RWI germs?
- Chlorine in swimming pools does kill the germs that may make people sick, but it takes time. Chlorine in properly disinfected pools kills most germs that can cause RWIs in less than an hour. Chlorine takes longer to kill some germs such as Crypto, which can survive for days in even a properly disinfected pool. This means that without your help, illness can spread even in well-maintained pools.
Who is most likely to get ill?
- Children, pregnant women, and people with compromised immune systems (such as those living with AIDS, those who have received an organ transplant, or those receiving certain types of chemotherapy) can suffer from more severe illness if infected. People with compromised immune systems should be aware that recreational water might be contaminated with human or animal waste that contains Cryptosporidium, which can be life threatening in persons with weakened immune systems. People with a compromised immune system should consult their health care provider before participating in behaviors that place them at risk for illness.
How can we prevent RWIs?
- Don't swim when you have diarrhea. This is especially important for kids in diapers. You can spread germs into the water and make other people sick.
- Don't swallow the pool water. In fact, avoid getting water in your mouth.
- Practice good hygiene. Take a shower before swimming and wash your hands after using the toilet or changing diapers. Germs on your body end up in the water.
- Take your kids on bathroom breaks or check diapers often. Waiting to hear "I have to go" may mean that it's too late.
- Change diapers in a bathroom and not at poolside. Germs can spread to surfaces and objects in and around the pool and spread illness.
- Wash your child thoroughly (especially the rear end) with soap and water before swimming. Everyone has invisible amounts of fecal matter on their bottoms that ends up in the pool.

Pastor in same-sex parent dispute remains jailed
MONTPELIER — A Virginia pastor who interfered with a custody dispute involving a lesbian couple in Vermont will remain jailed for refusing to testify before a federal grand jury.
Forty-seven-year-old Kenneth Miller was convicted last summer of helping Lisa Miller and her daughter leave the country in September 2009 to avoid sharing custody with her former partner. Prosecutors are trying to compel the pastor to testify against someone else involved in the flight, but Miller said his fundamentalist Christian faith prevents him from doing so.
Miller, of Stuarts Draft, Va., was jailed a week ago after refusing a judge's order that he testify before a grand jury. At a hearing Thursday said he hasn't changed his mind.

If you own a Honda Accord or Civic, or a full-size Ford pickup truck, you might want to take a moment to make sure your auto-insurance payments are up to date. You drive one of the top three most-stolen vehicles in the U.S. That's according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau's just-released "Hot Wheels" list, which examines annual vehicle-theft data submitted by law-enforcement agencies across the country to the National Crime Information Center to determine the makes and models most-frequently reported stolen during the previous year.
As in past years, Honda Accords and Civics by far were the most-stolen vehicles in 2012, totaling 58,596 and 47,037, respectively, with full-size Ford pickups coming in a distant third with 26,770 thefts. Older Accords and Civics eclipsed newer Hondas in theft frequency, which NICB attributes to improved anti-theft technology. Most of the makes and models return from the previous list; the only newcomers were the Nissan Altima (No. 9) and Nissan Maxima (No. 10), knocking the Ford Explorer and Nissan Sentra off this year's roster.
NICB, which is based in Des Plaines, Ill., noted that the latest list differs from previous years as it reports the top 10 most-stolen vehicles by make and model only, irrespective of model year. In previous rankings, in an effort to create a more varied report, only one make/model/year would appear in the top 10, even though other model years of the same vehicle would have earned a position. For example, last year's No. 1 placeholder was the 1994 Honda Accord, as opposed to this year, when it's simply the Honda Accord with all model years combined in its total. Also new this year is the addition of a list of the top 25 most stolen vehicles specifically from model-year 2012.
The top 10 most-stolen vehicles overall in 2012, followed by their respective totals, were:
The top 10 most-stolen model-year 2012 vehicles are:
"Although the FBI is predicting a 1.3 percent increase in 2012 vehicle thefts over 2011's number — reversing an eight-year trend — the overall vehicle theft picture is still positive," NICB stated in a news release. "The peak year for vehicle thefts was 1991 with 1,661,738. If the FBI's preliminary 2012 vehicle theft estimate holds, there will have been roughly 724,672 thefts.
"That's a national decrease of over 50 percent since 1991 with many states seeing even better numbers."Related

This year's unusually early spring is a boon for outdoor enthusiasts. Even though it's still (barely) March, it's definitely not too soon to make plans to visit one of Minnesota's state parks this summer. Note: The DNR recently overhauled its online reservation system, and as of today you can book online through July 21. Full details about the new reservation system and scheduling rollout can be found here.
If you're a camping enthusiast, you are probably already aware of the multitude of camping opportunities the parks offer, but did you know there are other types of lodging available as well?
At Upper Sioux Agency State Park outside of Granite Falls, you have the option of bypassing your tent for a tipi instead. There are two available for reservation in the Yellow Medicine River Campground, each with its own fire ring, picnic table, and parking spur. Note: neither fires nor pets are allowed inside the tipi.

I put a little site together for the residents of a retirement community.
It was just a quickie so in an effort to keep it simple I used THE WP-2010 theme with a few CSS Modifications. So there were no premium theme issues for it to conflict with and there were no conflicts.
I do have LizaTom Shortcode suite installed however and Fast SI Fast and Secure forms plugin installed. They both play well together with AEC.
Excellent coding work from what I've taken the time to look at. My hat is off to the developer.

Lawmaker proposes smart phone "kill switch" to deter violent thefts
Phil Roeder
Forget pick-pocketing. The street crime of today is "apple picking" -- thefts that target smartphones like Apple's iPhone.
It hit at the University of Minnesota campus, which has seen a high-profile wave of violent robberies targeting students' phones and laptops. And last week, it hit at the Mall of America, where thieves snatched recent mayoral contender Mark Andrew's iPhone off of a table, and then beat him over the head when he tried to chase after them.
Cue the lawmakers.

There's an idea out there that would make stolen smart phones less attractive to thieves: A remote "kill switch" to deactivate the phone, turning it into not much more than a fancy collection of parts.
Now, the kill switch could be coming to Minnesota. State Rep. Joe Atkins announced Thursday that he will introduce a bill for the upcoming legislative session requiring smartphones to have the feature.
Atkins first started considering a measure in May, around the same time he heard that nearly one in three robberies nationwide involve phones. Then, the crimes started hitting closer to home.
"If there was any reluctance about bringing legislation forward, that all went away when I saw what was going on at the U of M, and then what happened to Mark Andrew," says Atkins, who chairs the House Commerce and Consumer Protection Committee. "It's quite evident that what's happening in other parts of the country is on its way to Minnesota, and not just the increased thefts but the increasingly violent way in which they're taking place."
Manufacturers already have the capacity to build-in the kill switch, and Samsung has proposed adding it to phones. (Apple, which has more control over its products beginning-to-end, has already implemented a similar feature, the Activation Lock). But carriers are less excited about the idea, arguing that the technology is hackable. Advocates counter that those carriers profit from stolen phones via insurance plans and sales of replacement phones, as CNN reports.
While no state in the country has passed this kind of law, California and New York are considering similar measures.
Our own Sen. Amy Klobuchar is pushing the issue on the federal level. On Monday, she sent a letter to the five biggest cellphone carriers, asking them to address the surge in phone thefts and requesting more information on the kill switch technology.
"I believe additional action to protect wireless consumers is necessary," Klobuchar wrote. "The status quo is not acceptable."

South Carolina offers families limited school choice options. The state does not support private school choice. But it does allow for some choice within the public education system.
South Carolina has limited public school choice, offering inter-district school transfers.
South Carolina passed its first tax credit program in 2013 for children with special needs. The program is limited and only authorized for one year with a $5 million cap.
The Center for Education Reform reports that South Carolina has an average charter school law. Charter schools can be granted blanket waivers, and there is no cap on the maximum number of charter schools that can be opened. The National Association for Public Charter Schools reports that in 2013, nearly 24,000 students attended the state's 55 public charter schools.
South Carolina offers a state-led online program, full-time online charter schools, and a few supplemental district programs. According to the Keeping Pace with K-12 Online Learning report, the state-led South Carolina Virtual School had 11,265 course enrollments for the 2010-2011 school year. Although this was a 20 percent decrease from the previous year, the state's five full-time virtual charter schools enrolled 7,690 students, a nearly 40 percent increase from the previous school year. Additionally, three school districts run online schools.
A bill to phase-in statewide open-enrollment within the public school system was vetoed by Republican Governor Mark Sanford, who claimed the bill's passage "would represent a step backwards in the education reform movement in that it would create the illusion of reform where none would actually exist." According to the South Carolinians for Responsible Government, Governor Sanford advocated for private school choice legislation that would have provided parents with a scholarship or a tax credit to attend the school of their choice. Sanford's proposal failed to pass in either the House or Senate.

"Loved being able to match my address return labels to the beautiful Christmas cards on made on the site. The combo looks terrific. Nice, clear print, large letters for the verse and lovely scripts available. Kind of nice to send this wonderful Christmas greeting "twice", once on the envelope and once on the card inside!
Appreciate the variety of cards and address labels to choose from. Instead of just "Merry Christmas", actually proclaim the actual message of Christ's birth as a personal choice.
Thank you, Shutterfly, for the option."
"Wanting to add some extra charm and holiday spirit to our Christmas cards, my wife and I elected to order holiday-themed address labels through Shutterfly, and we were extremely pleased with the final product.
The labels are sharply-colored and durable. They are also aesthetically pleasing by being placed on a perforated sheet that is easy to navigate and simple to peel, especially with a high volume of envelopes that we are addressing (i.e. 150).
We highly recommend these address labels and look forward to sending them out to family and friends this week."
"Super cute labels! And great quality! Love them!!!"
"I mail quite a bit of letters out a month. Try 30+; these labels are a godsend and the receiver loves them too. Excellent quality labels, fast shipping, 2nd set. I look forward to choosing more styles."
"The address label came out great. Will order again when I get low."
Somewhere on everyone's Christmas to-do list there is that daunting task of writing, addressing and sending your annual Christmas letters. What better way is there to make your Christmas cards and packages stand out from the bunch than with a stylish, chic and personal return address label. Not to mention, that these little stickers will save you the time of writing out your return address for each card you send (that means more time to drink eggnog and deck the halls!)
The majority of our Christmas address labels compliment one of our Christmas card designs, they go together and make for the total package. Our address labels range from sophisticated scrolls in holiday hues to cutesy snowmen looking holly jolly. These self-adhesive address labels are a real lifesaver, it's "snow" wonder that more and more people are using them. We know that the holidays are the busiest time of the year and there are very few of us who have time to write out our information on each an every envelope. We mentioned that these address labels can be personalized, but did we mention that you could even add photos? That's right! Show off your family's Christmas photo not only on the inside of the envelope, but on the outside as well .We're sure that the postal office will love to see all your bright smiles. Out of the hundreds of designs to choose from, Shutterfly makes it easy to find the perfect Christmas return address label for you, in the color that you want and the design as well. Our holiday address labels are not only geared towards Christmas, we have celebratory new years labels, Hanukkah labels and labels for just about any occasion. Ordering your holiday address labels online is as easy as a little personalization and a click of a button.
This holiday season is your chance to make the most out of your Christmas cards. Those that you are sending your holiday greetings to will appreciate the little details and your cards are sure to stand out.

It's been a while since I've last worn it, but from what I can recall, the texture seemed to be quite nice, coverage about light to medium, and the finish satin, leaning on dewy. However, what made this product so unwearable for me was the colour - the fair shade looked more like medium, and the medium shade felt like a bad hommage to the orange self-tanning accidents of the '80s and '90s. Even with a slight tan (it was the time before I started using sunscreen daily), I couldn't make this work on my fair-to-medium skin. Quite a shame, but what can you do.

Usually a EL double wear gal, but was getting fed up of how heavy it was for day to day use. the only bad reviews for nude magique i found were commenting on the orangeness and i'm guessing the majority of those that tried it were fair skinned (i'm medium toned with a weird mix of peach and yellow undertones) it's a grainy, white cream that blends into your complexion (or at least something close to your skin colour anyway haha). I've tried something similar to this in the past (body shop's all in one bb cream - long story short it was terrible for my skin lol) but this one did ok!
tried it without moisturising and it clung onto my dry patches on my cheeks, so next time i'll try moisturising beforehand and see how it goes. i've had it on for about 4 hours and my face could probably do with some powder/blotting, i have combo oily skin anyway so it's nothing new. also felt like it was very slightly burning when i first applied it, but my skin is pretty strange so have no idea what else could have triggered it.
i like the colour when its applied. definitely doesn't cover up all imperfections (my main issue at the moment is hyperpigmentation) so you'll probably need a concealer if you're dealing with that. does a good job at evening out some redness. this is nice for everyday use, i'll see how it fairs for a full day and edit. price is also a bit steep for the amount you get but it beats dropping nearly £30 on a foundation that was making me look too over made-up and even old. hoping this works out!!!

I really like this product, it gives my skin a silky touch. It does even out my tone pretty well, I have combination skin and it worked perfectly everywhere. It gives a light coverage, it does have a little orange tone when first applied but as soon as you put some powder the color softens. I would recommend it for anyone searching for a light coverage bb cream that feels awesome in your skin!

First when i tried this BB cream in the store, i loved it. However when i used it at home i was extremely disappointed. I have tanned skin so bought the medium shade but it's a few shades dark for me and even looks orange. The coverage isnt great also, could have been much better. The price is affordable but i would not buy the product again. So disappointed.

This offers no coverage, and literally does nothing but turn me orange. And I'm not even talking like a tan kind of orange. Just orange.

I was extremely disappointed with this product. I have a light skin tone and it made me skin look extremely orange and gave very bad coverage. For me, it does nothing is says on the tube. Would definitely not buy it again.
I wish I read the reviews on it before buying it in the first place.

At first I did notice that the BB cream felt a little bit dry, but it is easy to fix using a mosturizer before applying the BB cream
I do not have any problems with the color, I have never look orange or tan while using it.
I will buy it again

As a mature skinned lady (gee time flies...), this product really didn't do anything for my skin. It's quite thin and strangely grainy in texture so it sat in an unflattering way on my skin. Didn't add anything to its texture or appearance either. Bit of a time waster to be honest.

I sent my wife on this excursion for her birthday. I didn't see the smile leave her face after wards for days. The trainers and dolphins were such a close knit family. Would do this again in a heartbeat only this time I will be joining them.
If you have any interest in dolphins, this activity is a must! I've swam with dolphins in New Zealand, but this was a chance to really get up close and personal. The operator was extremely professional. The limited group size made this a true training experience. During the day, we were introduced to the entire operation and staff, including a session with the veterinarian to learn about the dolphin monitoring and testing to make sure they stay healthy. We prepared the fish for our dolphins, met with their trainers then spent an hour swimming with them before learning how to give commands and positive reinforcement. The day culminated with each of us four being paired with an actual training to participate in an afternoon swimming session with other guests.
Awesome. Great experience!!!!!!

No uploading is going on other than the overhead of downloading which appears to be not high for the abilities of the connection: Only about 30-40KByte/s when the router locks at 1012Kb/s and other direct uploads or uploading overheads can reach more than 100KByte/sec so I don't think it's a congestion at uploading that is doing it.
Is there something I miss? Because I assume 13611Kbit/s should be ~1701Kbyte/sec.
Is it an overheard at the ADSL level I don't understand? Could it be the ISP doing it?
If it's active throttling it can't be on single connections since 2 high speed connections still go up to ~1500KByte/sec.
It's not an example on torrents or other complex situations.
The tests were on Ethernet, but I doubt the results would be different on wireless.
I wonder if the settings of those connections at my end could be doing it, e.g. MTU settings, though I haven't touched the defaults of a common Realtek NIC.
