Updated Baby Food Data

The first portion of this list is based on data from the Gerber Company (revised 2000 data). It replaces information in the Low Protein Food List for PKU, by Virginia E. Schuett, first and second printings. This is the data found in the newest third printing. The information from Earth's Best brand baby foods has not changed from the information given in the food list, but is reproduced here for the sake of completeness.
