Title: Lead Found in this Children's Vitamin
Review: I'm outraged that this vitamin is STILL ON THE MARKET!! I use to give my 2 year old son this vitamin (the recommended dosage on the container is 2 gummy vites per serving) until I read an article called "A Does of Reality" in Oprah's June 2004 magazine concerning the lead level in Li'l Critters Gummy Vites. This vitamin contains 2.5 mcg of lead per two gummy bear serving. The article states that even low levels of this heavy metal can possibly disrupt neurobehavioral and cognitive development in children especially under the age of six! Children's bodies cannot eliminate lead as an adult body can; rather, the lead is stored in the child's bones and soft tissues (including the brain!). Lead poisoning can have a huge impact on a child's growth and development. There is a website called leadpoisoningnews.com to get more info on the damaging affects of lead absorption. The article in "O" magazine was based on a test done by a company called consumerlab.com.
Is the review positive or negative?
