Before commercial baby formula shortages were a concern, Sally Fallon Morell\\xa0had concerns about the product sold on supermarket shelves. Sally is the president of The Weston A. Price Foundation\\xa0and the author of "Nourishing Traditions." Today, Sally discusses why commercial infant formula is problematic for babies\' growth and healthy development.

She goes over formula\'s ingredients, which in many cases include soy, which has an extremely high estrogen content that can interfere with a baby\'s hormone function. She covers the history of commercial formula and how it has been marketed to parents. She discusses what alternatives parents have (including homemade formula made with raw goat, cow milk, or even meat). And finally, she makes dietary recommendations for couples hoping to nourish their little ones well and those who hope to conceive a baby one day.
