Here is an article from Mercola on the importance of vitamin D for vascular health and blood pressure that I thought might be of interest to readers. The study Vitamin D3 Is More Potent Than Vitamin D2 in Humans reported in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism took a look at D2 versus D3 […]

I am a huge fan of fish oil for brain development and well aware of the benefits of supplementation with omega 3’s. It is because of my intense interest in omega 3s that I am shocked and appalled that Gerber would put TUNA OIL in their organic babyfood. While omega 3’s do so much to […]

  • Anonymous - Yes! This is exactly what I thought when I saw tuna oil on Gerber's ingredient list. We have been using Earth's Best for our son, but recently found pieces of plastic in the Chicken and Rice and were shopping for other options. I want to post a big sign on this stuff in the grocery store so everyone will know. Unfortunately most people don't read ingredients. They just see the marketing on the front that says "brain and eye development" and trust. Then thirty years later we all shake our heads and say "Can you believe they used to put tuna oil in baby food?" It's such a stupid, fallen world we live in. Clinging to Jesus is the only answer! Thank you for what you're doing to educate the public.ReplyCancel

    • Barbara Ewart - Jesus has absolutely nothing to do with tuna oil in baby foods. WWJD is not applicable to everything! ReplyCancel

  • What A Dish! - I hate that they do this. I try to make my own but I also use store-bought about half the time. I live overseas military, and there are no other organic storebought options. It really stinks. I can't believe they'd use TUNA oil, of all things!!!ReplyCancel

  • Mom of 2 - I stopped buying Gerber a while ago for my kids. I thought this was the ultimate food for my picky eater until I discovered almost everything is made with high fructose corn syrup.ReplyCancel

  • Anonymous - I usually never post comments on forums like this, but I feel the need to do so in case other mothers like me were worried to death about speculative comments being made regarding infant food. Gerber has a 24/7 hotline phone number: 1-800 284-9488, stated clearly on their website.
    I called this number which was promptly answered. The representative said that the tuna oil in the food is obtained from wild caught fish in the South and Central Pacific. They do not use tuna livers, but offcuts of the filets. The oil is separated by centrifugation, and subsequently highly refined. The level of mercury is strictly regulated. Gerber will only accept a level of mercury which is 0.01 ppm or less, apparently, this level is lower than the FDA guidelines. So, I agree that this is a surprising source of DHA, but the levels of mercury are tested. ReplyCancel

  • Anonymous - I decided to try gerbers organic bananas for my baby when he was beginning to eat baby food. I thought it would be ok since he had bananas multiple times previously with no problem. Well boy did I regret that my a few minutes after eating just a little bit he started to scream his eyes swelled to the point he couldn't see. So without a second thought we rushed him to the ER. His eyes remained swollen the crying continued and thank god as we got closer he started throwing it up. That seemed to help him. When the Dr checked him out I showed him the box the baby food was in and he said it had to be the tuna oil that caused it. Thankfully after he threw up all his food he was back to his normal self just tired from all that happenedReplyCancel
