  This is from a publication called "Facts for Life." I have the 1993
  revised edition, and the statements you refer to are on page 23.

  This document is available online at http://www.unicef.org/ffl/.

  Go to the breastfeeding section, then to statement 4 "Breastfeeding
  helps to protect babies and young children against dangerous
  diseases. Bottle-feeding can lead to serious illness and death."

  Then go to the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th bulleted points under
"supporting
  statements."

  I hope this helps.

  Sincerely,
  Andrea
