Infant Formula Risks: NEC and the Dangers of Infamil and Similac Products

In addition, medical studies have shown that the risk of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is increased by the ingestion of infant formula, including Infamil and Similac products. NEC is a life-threatening illness affecting infants with a mortality rate as high as 50 percent. NEC can cause inflammation of the intestine leading to bacterial invasion resulting in cellular damage and necrosis of the colon and intestine.
