My guess is is has something to do with the recent backlash against "the
diarrhea formulas" aka those w/ added DHA/ARA. Honestly, you can not imagine
the BMs these little people have after being fed (overfed) with these
formulas. Gut wrenching, oozing, copious amounts of stool.  

If jaundice is "abnormal" their "superior" formula will prevent the
condition. However, if jaundice is concidered normal (which it is, and
actually improves brain function, if it is not the "lack of breastfeeding
jaundice" caused by lack of feeding/dehydration) then their formulas prevent
a natural, normal, healthy experience, leading to health problems down the
line. 

If the message is starting to get out that DHA/ARA could be suspect, there
are questions, money issues, sales concerns. That would urge the formula
manufacturers to step up and generate more fear of breastfeeding to resist
the backlash. 

I keep looking at my generation, and wondering how there could be any
question of whether breastfeeding or formula feeding is "better." How many
auto-immune disorders does one have to develop before "they" recognize that
the body is working against itself, and it began at a primary age?

Best wishes,
Sam Doak




Dear Friends:
 
I am teaching in Louisiana now, and have heard this very comment from a
participant in the group. What formula company is putting out this new line
of crap?
