>What's your opinion for a "so called" epidemiologic study that Abbott (Ross)
>is making in Italy.  They ask to 740 paediatricians to   study 10 children
>(total 7400 children).
>Every paediatrician MUST give to 6 children Abbott's milk (Similac formula
>plus) the other four children may eat other milks (human milk too! Very kind).
>In a period of 14 days mothers must specify how are the stools and digestion
>of children.
>Abbott's (Ross) medical staff told also that they will present in a
>Scientific Review the study with the names of all the paediatricians (740
>Names and Surnames). They also told that they wanted to make an
>epidemiologic study NOT marketing
>Only I told them that it was "marketing" and not Science (I asked if they
>give their milk with no cost: they told, clearly, no).
>What's your opinion ?
>What do you think of "nucleotides" in milk ?
