No link between milk powder and infant breast growth
||
The health ministry launched an investigation in Hubei province after claims that milk powder led to premature sexual development in infant girls.
Ministry spokesman Deng Haihua said Sunday the hormone content of the powder was within normal limits, Xinhua reported.
According to Xinhua, Deng said food safety experts tested the residue of milk powder consumed by the three infant girls, as well 42 samples of Synutra products on the market and 31 samples of dairy products from other producers.
The deputy head of Wuhan Children's Hospital's endocrine department said three of the four children treated for the condition had never consumed baby formula made by Synutra, Xinhua reported.
A fourth baby had used Synutra formula but then switched brands, Xinhua cited the hospital official as saying.
On Monday, Synutra Chairman and CEO Liang Zhang in a statement called media reports "highly irresponsible and based on speculation instead of evidence."

- The media should not write irresponsible reports just to have eye-catching headlines.

- The National Bureau of Statistics once said that the house price has increased by less than 10% or so within a certain period. Later they modified their version by stating that their way is different from others. To me it is most shameful lie I have ever heard of. So when the news media again published so-called investigations, I will always take it with a grain of salt.
