Periodically, Formula Sense highlights information you’ll find in the searchable Ingredient Interpreter catalog that is part of our Learning Center. There you can look up an ingredient by its scientific or common name and learn about its role in infant health. This month’s ingredient highlight: Palm Oil

Infant feeding is never a straightforward decision or process. In an information-rich world, reputable, independent information about formula feeding is missing. The three million infants who drink formula daily, their parents and pediatricians deserve better.
