According to a recent study, companies continue to misrepresent the nutritional benefits of baby formula in spite of laws intended to limit how they are advertised.
The marketing of hundreds of breast milk substitutes in South Africa, Nigeria, and 13 other nations were examined by researchers from Imperial College London.
They discovered that the majority of products either failed to provide any scientific citations for their health claims or made claims that lacked solid clinical backing.
The researchers are advocating for stricter control and regulation.
For the first six months of life, babies should only be breastfed, according to the World Health Organization.
