would  think as citizens of this world, we'd want to increase health.   I
don't read the above as all babies should be supplemented with a  special
formula, but that those babies who are formula fed should have  this
supplement (his invention).  If the supplement does what he  claims it does,
I think it's a wonderful  invention!



But why should babies be formula fed? Most babies in the world,  everywhere,
should be breastfed. That is the way to increase health, of mothers,  babies,
and communities.
    Can you imagine putting all the money into  promoting and protecting and
supporting breastfeeding that is going instead to  development of a synthetic
human milk? There would be milk banks available for  those situations where a
baby couldn't receive its mother's milk.
