“…The range of lead determined agrees reasonably well with most literature values (Ikem et al 2002, Moreno-Rojas 2002, Tripathi et al 1999, Rodríguez et al 1999, Biego et al 1998, Krachler et al 1998, Ursinyova and Hladikova 1997, Esteve et al 1994, Dabeka 1989, Dabeka and Mckenzie 1987,1988.…”

Lead concentrations in a total of 82 different types of infant formulae (cow's milk and soy based) marked in Spain were analysed by acid-microwave decomposition and anodic stripping voltammetry. Dietary lead intake from infant formula and tap water used for powder formula reconstitution were estimated in comparison with the provisional tolerable weekly intake (PTWI). Additionally, the influence of physical state (powder and ready to use formulae), the type of container used and the impact of industrial process from different manufacturers on lead levels were evaluated. According to our results, lead exposure from drinking water was negligible with respect to formulae investigated; where soya formulae contributed the highest intake (58 -73 % PTWI), non adapted starter and specialised formulae gave an moderate intake (31 -42 and 26 -37 % PTWI, respectively) and, finally, pre-term, adapted starter and follow up formulae provided the lowest lead intake (22)(23)(24)(25)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26) respectively). Based on the current state of knowledge about lead toxicity, manufacturers are called to make an additional effort in order to keep a maximum lead level at 20 g l -1 for all infant formulae, although it is recommendable that these formulations supply the upper limit (5 g l -1 ) of "normal" human milk.

“…The same proteins have been identified in mushroom, beans, soya beans, cabbage, wheat, and several other plants (Tjell et al 1983). Studies have shown that cadmium transfer via milk was low in rats and mice (Lucis et al 1972;Tanaka et al 1972), sheep (Houpert et al 1997), cattle (Smith et al 1991), and humans (Biego et al 1998). The range of cadmium concentrations in milk was thus reportedly high, ranging from 1 to 30 ppb (Grawe and Oskarsson 2000) with many of the values being much higher (up to 15 times higher) than the Drinking Water Guideline Values (DWGVs).…”

In this study we used the Forum of European Geological Surveys geochemical baseline data to examine the distribution of cadmium (Cd) in Europe, with a particular reference to the international soil and water guideline values. The highest cadmium levels were found to occur in topsoil and to follow closely the distribution of P(2)O(5), suggesting that the contamination was from the use of rock phosphate fertilizer in intensive arable agriculture. In terms of human health impacts, food (up to several hundred microg/day) was found as the only major route of exposure to Cd for the non-smoking general population. It appeared that low levels of chronic exposure to Cd resulted in completely different human health impacts than those high levels that had caused the 'itai-itai' disease. Some correlations were suggested between cadmium levels and the age-adjusted prostate or breast cancer rates distributed in the European countries under study.

“…Casey and Neville [19] reported Mo levels less than 2 μg/L in HM of US mothers more than 1 month after delivery. Biego et al [20] reported Mo contents of 4±3 μg/L in mature HM from French mothers. As dietary intake influences Mo concentration in HM, in those populations with higher Mo intake, such as the Japanese, higher Mo contents will be found in the HM of local women [21].…”

Molybdenum is an essential trace nutrient in the human diet. Our purpose was to provide a comprehensive analysis of Mo content of various types of powdered infant formulas across Canada and the USA. All infant formulas, available on the day of sampling, were purchased from random supermarkets in Grand Forks, ND, USA; San Diego, CA, USA; Washington, DC, USA; and Winnipeg, MB, Canada. Reference powdered milk, human milk (HM), and formula samples were weighed and acid-digested prior to analysis by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectroscopy. Mo content in all formulas ranged from 15.4 to 80.3 μg/L (mean±SE, 37.7±1.7 μg/L). HM Mo concentration ranged from 1.5 to 9.5 μg/L (5.09±0.81 μg/L). Formulas intended for full-term or for premature infants feeding contained, on average, more Mo than HM. Formulas intended for infants with special needs contained similar mean Mo levels to HM. No significant differences were detected between mean Mo values of formulas of a same type purchased from different brands and/or at different locations. High Mo intake may pose health risks, despite lower bioavailability of Mo from formula compared with HM.
