Baby Food (Organic): Home made is of course always best, however when this is not possible - Babynat - for details on stockists, email Michelle Hull - info@organicom.net.au, Only Organic Baby Food and Earth's Best Organic Infant Foods.

Beer: Coopers make five naturally conditioned (unpasteurised) ales: Pale, Sparkling, Dark, Vintage and Stout. These beers are all good sources of vitamin B complex because the yeast sediment in the bottom of the bottles is rich in vitamin B. None of them are pasteurised. They do not put any of their naturally conditioned ales in cans though. Coopers Light and Draught are both available in cans. Both of these beers are artificially carbonated and pasteurised - as are most other beers in Australia (Information from Frank Akers at the Coopers Brewery). Of all the styles, dark, vintage/special old and stout are the most nutritious, also good sources of chromium (more tasty than brewers yeast). These are available from The Grape, Rock 'n' Roll Plaza, 490 Logan Road, Stones Corner, also Liquorland and Woolies liquor stores.
