If you can't breastfeed, what's the best infant formula? See yesterday's NutritionFacts.org video-of-the-day The Best Baby Formula (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-best-baby-formula/). Unfortunately even before your baby is born our diets may be exposing them to pollutants. See CDC Report on Environmental Chemical Exposure (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cdc-report-on-environmental-chemical-exposure/), DDT in Umbilical Cord Blood (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/ddt-in-umbilical-cord-blood/), and Food Sources of Perfluorochemicals (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-sources-of-perfluorochemicals/). Eating a more plant-based diet will help reduce exposure and the resulting DNA damage. See Plants vs. Pesticides (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/plants-vs-pesticides/), DNA Protection from Broccoli (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dna-protection-from-broccoli/), and The Best Detox (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-best-detox/).
