Testimonials
T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D., author of The China Study, the most comprehensive and far reaching nutritional study to date, endorses Creating Healthy Children:
Karen Ranzi has written a most important book, Creating Healthy Children, that is must reading. The scientific evidence is now clear that a plant based diet means optimal health, and the sooner young people are started on this diet, the better. The story line in this book is personal, professional and very, very sensible.
—T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D.; Jacob Gould Schurman Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY
Creating Healthy Children is a valuable compilation of research and findings on different aspects of children’s health. Karen Ranzi is an honest researcher and a dedicated mother, and I envision this book being embraced by all loving parents seeking optimum health for their children. Karen’s bold suggestions, sincerity, passion, genuine style and interjection of personal anecdotes make this book a valuable read.

What would be the best course:
— “formula” ?
— fresh unpasteurized goat milk ?
— vita-mixed fresh, organic fruits and vegetables ?
— some combination of the above ?
As we spoke by Skype, I believe your child needs a milk source, preferably a mother’s milk, until at least one year old. Formula should never be the choice as it’s loaded with toxins and minimal amounts of vitamins and minerals. If you cannot find a wet nurse or mother who will donate her milk, then fresh unpasteurized goat milk would be the last choice. You could provide half goat milk and half carrot/celery juice to start bringing in some nutrients from vegetables.
Thanks!
First, I would like to know why people are telling you to wean your baby at only 6 months. Your breast milk is the most important nourishment you can give to your child. It has all the protein and fat perfectly meant for the growing human baby. An absolute minimum of one year is required, and I recommend longer and letting the baby decide when to wean. As you move toward the end of the first year of infancy, if the baby shows signs of wanting to eat then you can start with bite-size pieces of ripe fruit such as speckled bananas chopped in small pieces so that baby learns how to properly chew. Please do not start with purees and baby rice. If you start with purees then baby will not learn how to chew his food properly. Baby rice is highly processed and oxidized after sitting on the shelf for long periods. Also, children under age 3 do not have the salivary enzyme ptyalin or the pancreatic enzymes to digest starches of any kind. Yes, my book Creating Healthy Children states what foods to eat as you are introducing foods to baby and the sequence in the chapter on “Feeding Baby Uncooked Foods.” Thank you so much for contacting me!
p.s. I adore your article as I’m tryingto get my whole family to be vegan ,but, its a hard transition for us!”
