As the nation re-emerges from a year of toy recalls, here is advice pediatricians can use when counseling parents
Michael W. Shannon, M.D., M.P.H., FAAP
 Remarkable gains have been made toward the elimination of childhood lead poisoning over the last decade. Nationally, the average blood lead level of children 1-5 years old has fallen to less than 2 mcg/dl. However, increasing data show that lead is a nothreshold toxicant; there is no blood lead level that can be considered completely safe.
With this in mind, even though the primary source of lead poisoning remains deteriorated paint in old homes, all sources of lead require identification and elimination to completely minimize exposure.

Raw milk, juice dangerous for children and infants |
|
 Drinking milk and juice can be a tasty way for children to get vitamins and nutrients. But giving your child unpasteurized, or raw, juice, milk or dairy products can lead to potentially serious illness or even death due to the harmful bacteria and parasites these products may contain.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that infants drink only breast milk or infant formula that has been prepared correctly until age 4 to 6 months. The AAP also warns of the serious risks raw milk and juice can pose and strongly recommends pasteurized milk or juice once your child is ready for other foods. These products have been heated to kill bacteria and parasites, such as harmful E. coli or Salmonella, often found in raw beverages.
