Why glaza,?
Glaxos
1. Because it contains added Vitamin D to ensure dense bone, fine teeth and firm flesh. Cow's milk, and thence ordinary dried milks made from it, "is at no time a rich source of this vitamin". (British Medical Research Council 1932).
2. Because it contains added iron to prevent nutritional anaemia. Cow's milk is notoriously deficient in iron. "The feeding of infants with milk to which iron has been added, considerably reduces the Incidence of nutritional anaemia, raises resistance to infections..... and improves growth" (Ministry of Health's Circular 1290, 1932)
3. Because Glaze is close to breast- milk in composition, is easily digested and, is safe for your baby in all climates.
