Alison,
I just wanted to say that I did read your response to the original inquiry
and I thought it was excellent.

Scott - thanks for the information on Gerber contents. The inclusion of
iron is very concerning, although like you, I don't know what level is
actually toxic.
The internet is definitely not our friend with respect to circulation of
misinformation. I'm going to try to get ahead of this locally and will
compose an information piece about this topic for the RPBO web site, so
with luck, any locals who look there for more information will have a
rebuttal.
Thanks to all for their comments and thoughts,
Alison

Subject: [humband] Re: concerning promotion of protein in nectar
Looking at the ingredients list for this brand of baby formula (
https://medical.gerber.com/products/formulas/good-start-soothe; click on
"Medical Professional"), it contains 7.7mg of iron per 100g of powder.
Whether that represents a dangerous level of iron intake for hummers I
can't say, but it's an indication that focusing on the type of whey, as
Davis did, is missing the bigger picture.
