Nemours Foundation or duPont de Nemours owns several patents on components of human milk, both the real thing and the gmo'd versions. These patented products are used in infant formula and other foods and medicines.  Google the "word" humanmilkpatentpending. It's a blog written by Valerie McClain, a retired IBCLC. She has done an amazing amount of research on patents for human milk components in the USPTO. Then search Nemours.

I submitted a criticism of the article, as I'm sure many of you did, and received two responses today - first one from the NIH Contractor at National Library of Medicine who told me I needed to submit my complaint to the "news service from which they originated", which seems rather a lame response to me - basically saying, "we didn't write it - we just passed it along".

But then I received a second response from MedlinePlus saying the article had been removed and directing me to the "wealth of breast feeding information on MedlinePlus at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/breastfeeding.html".

Out of curiosity, I followed that link and glanced through all of the articles submitted taken from the Nemours Foundation.  I've never heard of that organization before now.  I felt that all of their articles contained similar errors.  

One of my favorites, "Commercially prepared infant formulas are a nutritious alternative to breast milk, and even contain some vitamins and nutrients that breastfed babies need to get from supplements." from http://kidshealth.org/parent/growth/feeding/breast_bottle_feeding.html# .

Has anybody else looked at these?
