I would appreciate hearing your thoughts on this new study - I am appalled 
at the comments made by the dietitian at the end of the article -

Breast milk 'won't halt obesity'
(Ursula Arens, Spokeswoman for the British Dietetic Association quoted)

I am a dietitian myself and am frequently reminded that not all dietitians 
are knowledgable about breastmilk - in fact, one of the tasks on my "to do" 
list is to write a letter to the American Dietetic Association, before they 
have their national conference in September, urging them to enforce the code 
of marketing of infant formula at their conference - every year, there are 
tons of dietitians walking around with their very nice bag handed out by a 
formula company, proudly displaying the formula name on it -  sigh
