I'd encourage everyone to vote..... http://www.parentsjury.org.au/tpj_news.asp?ContainerID=1967 Nomination 3: Karicare Toddler Gold Formula  Ad description: Claymation bear with toddler bear. She talks about feeding her child Karicare instead of regular cows milk.  "Nature's next step." Parents concerns: - "Very false advertising by saying the mother didn't want to introduce the milk of another species so is giving formula instead. It is a cows milk derivative and really high in sugar so very false." - "It vilifies regular cows milk but the product actually contains cows milk." Fact: - Made with whole cows milk powder. - High in added sugar in the form of maltodextrin and dextrose. - World Health Organisation recommends "all babies are exclusively breastfed for at least the first six months of life and together with complementary food, breastfed ideally for up to two years."
