Please be VERY careful when referring to any reporter's interpretation of Dr. Ruth Lawrence's statements on herbs. Or anyone else's statements on any aspect of BF, for that matter. Reporters write stories that are designed sell newspapers, and exaggerating the alleged risks of BF is a very common tactic. I didn't hear Dr. Lawrence's talk, so I have no comment on what she actually did or didn't say regarding fenugreek. Sounds like it's time for a REAL research study on this herb, eh? And as I said in a previous post, we owe it to ourselves and our clients to read the original research on this and other aspects of lactation. Linda J.
