'Toddler milk' has no nutritional benefits, American Academy Pediatrics reports

- chiefalchemist 3y ago> For decades, advertisements have marketed toddler formula as nutritionally beneficial to toddlers, a claim the report finds misleading to parents. This finding aligns with a report the World Health Organization published last year detailing the aggressive digital marketing techniques formula milk companies use to sell their products. Among the tactics that WHO cited were companies inserting themselves into advice forums and social media groups for expecting parents and new mothers promoting false health claims on milk substitutes. How can promoting false health claims be recognized by such a powerful and prominent entity and yet no legal action is taken? And yet the practice persists? Where are the social media police with their fact checking and suspending accounts for days or weeks? Finally, why has CNN buried the lede? Why isn't it asking these questions?
