Please note that these studies do not contain an exclusively breastfed (from birth) reference group. Therefore they do not have a group that has never been exposed to foods or fluids other than breastmilk before beginning solids. This is a major flaw in the research. The WHO has not changed its recommendations. Other bodies may be reviewing theirs in light of this research but please follow the money ... who is funding these studies and who is doing the lobbying? You'll find the usual suspects, Danone (Numico) Pfizer (Wyeth) & Nestle.
