Between the healthcare provider (HCP) who couldn't understand why a woman
would breastfeed and take an antidepressant and the controversy at my work
over whether or not the breastfeeding.com poster is acceptable because it
says "Your baby WILL be smarter". Back to that guilt thing AGAIN. And yes
that HCP was asked if he thought that an antidepressant at 5 nanograms/ml
could cause leukemia, lymphoma, obesity, diabetes, ...... and therefore I
hope was set straight about why a woman SHOULD breastfeed with or without an
antidepressant.
As far as work, After I show them the research taht shows and increase in an
IQ then I am going to ask them to show ME the research that cow's milk
formula makes babies smarter. And can they explain, why are formula
companies spending soooo much money researching the fatty acids thought to be
responsible for it and why is it mandated in Europe that formula contain
these fatty acids. And if that doesn't work I will be desperate enough to
show them the below!!!!!!
Mamma cow's are considered STUPID animals but they are smart enough to
exclusivly feed their babies' nothing but cow's milk. Think about it, cow's
don't feed their babies' goat, monkey, lamb, dog, or for that matter HUMAN
milk, do they? Truly, all mammals feed their baby's their OWN MILK~~except
humans. We are the only mammal that feeds our babies cow milk, yet we are
considered the SMARTEST mammal on Earth. Yes, we are top of the food chain.
But, imagine for a moment the effects of goat milk or even human milk on a
baby calf. You'd sure have one sick "kid" wouldn't you? Now of course if
Mamma is ill or dead some milk is better than none, however this is rare and
far between especially for humans.
So, since we human's are sooooo smart, I ask you, "What do you think the
probability is that cow's milk fed to human babies will make them SMARTER? "
Looking at the research unearthed of the last few decades, I think the anwer
is now clear. Moreover, mammals are mammals whether they are at the top or
the bottom of the food chain. Similar events creates similar results. In
other words, if human milk makes cow's sicker and stupider, then cows milk
makes human babies stupid and sicker. Human babies fed human milk are
weller and smarter~~~Given the data, how can you EVEN argue this point?
Unless of course maybe..... you were..... Uh formula fed.
OK OK maybe I will leave out the formula fed line--it is a tad bit below the
belt. BUT I will be thinking it. Christine Betzold
