I love the seat belt and smoking analogies too. But it is awfully cumbersome to clearly explain this whole risk-vs-benfit business to a BF class. I've found that the best way to "sum it up and make it stick" is to query the class, after my discussion on the risks of formula: "Would you let your child smoke, though George Burns lived to 100 while smokiing a cigar a day? Do I let my kids get in the car without a seat belt, though I never used one as a child? Of course not."
