                    [Summary] => Fearing that this is directly and indirectly affecting the breastfeeding behaviors of mothers, councilor Edgardo Labella is urging the Department of Health to regulate advertisements on infant formulas.


Labella expressed concern over the proliferation of commercials promoting infant formulas, which he described as "misleading marketing tactics of milk companies".


In a proposed a resolution, he said that even the most expensive milk substitutes and infant formulas cannot compete with breast milk in terms of nutritive value.

For the lactose-intolerant child, drinking milk – despite its obvious benefits – becomes a self-defeating exercise. Many children are forced to drink less milk due to the discomforts it yields, thus, compromising their nutrition and ability to advance mentally.

Lactose intolerance is genetic and occurs most often in people of Asian, African and Mediterranean descent. It is estimated that up to 50 percent of Filipinos are lactose-intolerant, a condition caused by a deficiency in lactase, an enzyme needed to absorb and digest the milk sugar, lactose.
