Why DO we feed our babies white rice cereal as a first food? I challenged this practice last year in the article “Taste Buds Develop In Utero.”
Now Dr. Alan Greene is taking this idea a step further. He believes introducing the “white stuff” this early may indeed contribute to childhood/adult obesity.
Dr. Greene:
“Let’s END white rice cereal for babies by Thanksgiving 2011 – it’s like giving baby Wonder Bread. We can stop this habit in a year!
“Let every kids’ first grain be a whole grain. There’s no good reason not to. They won’t mind. They’ll thank you.”
