From the NYT,
Amy Chase started feeding Similac Organic infant formula to her second son,Amos, as soon as he was born in November 2006. “When I saw the organic at
Publix, I bought it, no questions asked,” said Ms. Chase, a self-described “yoga mom” in Atlanta. Like Ms. Chase, many American parents have rushed to embrace Similac Organic formula, even though it sells for as much as 30 percent more than regular Similac...Parents may be buying it because they believe that organic is healthier, but babies may have a reason of their own for preferring
Similac Organic: it is significantly sweeter than other formulas.
The article goes on to say that the organic formula is the only baby formula with cane sugar (sucrose) in it, which pediatricians say can lead to decaying teeth and childhood obesity.
