"A couple of hours after a baby is born, most doctors provide an injection of vitamin K to reduce the risk of death from bleeding. However, two recent studies have found that infants receiving the injected form of vitamin K are about twice as likely to experience childhood cancer as those who are given the same dose orally."
"Since 1993, doctors in US hospitals have been required to give an intramuscular injection, rather than an oral dose, of vitamin K to newborns. Many scientists believe that this injection may be linked with phenol, a carcinogenic substance used in preparing vitamin K. The newborn is able to detoxify this substance when receiving it orally, but not when injected. While the drawback to oral vitamin K is that it requires repeated doses -- particularly for breast-fed babies (since breast milk is deficient in this vitamin) -- it appears worth the trouble." Natural Health, September-October 1995.
