As I recall, this was a study of Mead-Johnson formulas by Ross Labs. The
claim was, "MJ has these 'bad' oils and we don't." Who needs independent
researchers when the manufacturers will tear each other up while we watch?
At their own expense! But then, it's all for Position and Market Share -
and breastfeeding still loses as customers flock from one brand to the
other and back again.
