I don't think people realise how dangerous salt can be for a baby.  It acts like a slow poison and can damage babies kidneys and liver too, if given over a prolonged period of time it can kill.

Iron tablets are another thing that are very dangerous to babies and young children.  If a baby takes iron tablets as humans we can't get rid of the extra iron in our bodies and it kills babies and small children.

I think people trust food companies too much.  When Coca Cola introduced Coke to Africa in the 60's and advertised it as the number 1 drink they had mothers feeding their babies Coke instead of formula/breast milk as they thought it was a better product.  The power of advertising is scarey!
