I am looking for references on increase obesity and formula feeding.  Also I
will take studies on how breastfeeding reduces obesity later in life.
I don't know if others saw this news item a couple days ago but it was on 'a
study in mice shows drugs combating obesity, lengthening life.'
The researchers at the Joslin Diabetes Center restricted the mice's ability
to store fat by eliminating their insulin fat receptors.
I would like to see if the studies on obesity and formula feeding has
anything to do with lying down insulin fat receptors.  I have a feeling there
is some correlation.  Therefore on the flip side, that breastfeeding
eliminates their insulin fat receptors.

Valerie look for patents in the future on this one.
Thanks for any help.
