I would appreciate hearing your thoughts on this new study - I am appalled at the comments made by the dietitian at the end of the article - Breast milk 'won't halt obesity' (Ursula Arens, Spokeswoman for the British Dietetic Association quoted) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4785960.stm Source: American Journal of Clinical Nutrition http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/abstract/83/3/550 I am a dietitian myself and am frequently reminded that not all dietitians are knowledgable about breastmilk - in fact, one of the tasks on my "to do" list is to write a letter to the American Dietetic Association, before they have their national conference in September, urging them to enforce the code of marketing of infant formula at their conference - every year, there are tons of dietitians walking around with their very nice bag handed out by a formula company, proudly displaying the formula name on it - sigh Melinda Johnson, MS RD Phoenix, AZ *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(R) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
