They released the findings in the Total Diet Study Report this week, which tracks nutrients and contaminants within the US food supply.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThere\u2019s not supposed to be lead or arsenic or cadmium in any foods,\u201d said nurse Charlotte Brody. \u201cSo the fact they make it seem like a victory is very troubling.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The agency discovered out of the 384 baby foods sampled, 51 percent tested positive for arsenic. In the baby food the agency found 65 percent of the samples contained cadmium, 21 percent contained lead and 3 percent contained mercury. Scientists say toxic heavy metals endanger infants neurological development and long-term brain functioning. Babies and children are most vulnerable to neuro toxic effects.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cIt\u2019s not that food has gotten so much better,\u201d she voiced. \u201cIt\u2019s what the detection limits are.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Seeing new brands of infant formula on store shelves?
