For those who are surprised by the quote regarding bioavailability of
minerals in human milk (Washington Post article of 3/4/97) one can gain
insight into Dr. Ronald Kleinman's depth of knowledge in this area by
reading the discussion of breastfeeding in the book he co-authored "Let Them
Eat Cake." I actually recommend the book now and then. It discusses the
counterproductiveness of micro-managing a child's food intake and diet
choices. However, the breastfeeding information discounts "advantages" of
human milk in developed countries (it doesn't get close to addressing the
hazards of abm) and relegates feeding choice to merely a style-of-feeding
decision.

Did anyone else enjoy the comment made by the USDA fellow who said the
formula companies were acting wisely by not rushing to add DHA since the
companies might be sued if their product caused harm. Yeah? Since when?
(Unless DHA causes babies to keel over and perish on the spot, no one will
notice IMO).
