These claims were then printed all over newspaper advertisements, their product packaging, and even in medical journals.
From the beginning, Nestlé's marketing strategy relied heavily on endorsements and testimonials from the medical world.
Nestlé would instruct their salesmen to go directly to doctors and pharmacists, giving them brochures and free samples.
Many of the physicians would then prescribe Nestle products to their patients and report what they observed.
And of course, only the positive reports would then be published in medical journals, or in adverts, or in new brochures given to other physicians.
This strategy worked wonders, and Nestle's market share grew enormously.
In the first decades of the 1900s, skimmed condensed milk was touted as baby food.
That is unbelievable.
It's what you used to make fudge.
Anyway, if you have been lucky enough to avoid condensed milk your entire life, it's essentially milk that has been treated until about 60% of the water content has evaporated and then sugar is put in its place.
And babies love it still now, but after an epidemic of rickets, which is caused by a lack of fat-soluble vitamin D, doctors observed that there was a link between rickets in infants and an exclusive diet of skimmed condensed milk.
I saw on TikTok this morning, the factual encyclopedia of Britannica.
Up until the 1920s, I want to say, maybe a bit later, all applicants to Harvard and Yale had to submit a naked photograph of themselves to check for scoliosis and rickets.
And they are in the Smithsonian to this day.
Okay.
Fuck it all.
That's wild.
But!
Despite the rickets, many manufacturers, including Nestle themselves, continue to brand their condensed skimmed milk as infant food.
How anyone has any teeth in the 1900s is beyond me.
