Babies are introduced to solid foods in small steps, very slowly and carefully, because of the 'allergens' in carrots, for example.

Many cosmetics manufacturers advertise that their products no longer contain aluminium salts. Why? For cost reasons? Or because of the health disadvantages?

How does that fit together?

Natural foodstuffs are assumed to be potentially hazardous. Ingredients that turn out to be disadvantageous are omitted, and yet

parents are recommended or forced to have chemicals injected into their children's bodies.

Digression. A small amount of snake venom (corresponding to one bitte) applied to an uninjured skin surface causes approximately: nothing.

A comparable amount of snake venom injected into the skin with a needle or snake teeth can be fatal.

Back to the beginning. A baby is administered numerous injections, the contents of which are comparable to components from cosmetic products that some people no longer want to have on the surface of their skin in their old formulation. Aluminium.

What does not belong on the skin certainly does not belong in a baby's body. A baby that should be slowly acclimatised to solid food with carrots so that it does not develop an allergy.

I think people do some pretty stupid things.
