According to www.chron.com, perchlorate (a chemical used in rocket fuel) has been found in powdered baby formula and several cities drinking water. "No tests have ever shown the chemical caused health problems, but scientists have said significant amounts of perchlorate can affect thyroid function."
What am I missing here? Wouldn't the fact that it affects thyroid function be a health problem? (Spoken from one who has a thyroid problem.) This article goes on to say, "The government requires that formula contain iodine, which counteracts perchlorate's effects." The whole article can be seen here.
Another website states "We know that the CDC has found perchlorate in 100 percent of the people they've tested,..." Scary statistic!!! Check out their article here.
