Gonneke makes a good point - we tell moms to avoid pretty much 
everything during pregnancy (my youngest sister was even told not to eat 
honey during pregnancy OR breastfeeding for fear of botulism in the 
baby. I did a medline search, and did not find a report of a single case 
where maternal honey ingestion caused botulism in the infant or fetus!) 
Yet we are all about "choice" about far riskier things. I think that 
artificial feeding and drugged labors, and now Cesarean sections have 
become "normal" in this society, and therefore many people don't want to 
face the fact that they can be risky.
