Did I miss something? Dr Greene's response was "it becomes clearer year by year, that human milk is precisely designed for human babies. There may well be other important micro-nutrients or factors that we don't even have instruments to measure yet. Not many decades ago, immunoglobulins were unknown. While formulas are an excellent alternative when breast feeding is not possible, human breast milk is the superior food for human babies for many, many reasons." (http://www.drgreene.com/21_552.html)

Although all of us here know that expressed or donor milk is the true "excellent alternative when breastfeeding is not possible," I'm not sure why Dr. Greene "needs to have his MD taken away." Could you please clarify?
