Marsha,
  I'm confused. This looks like two formula companies battling one
another
about their advertising claims. our statement is "a plague on both
your houses"
What should our complaint to the FTC be saying? I've done a lot of
letter
writing on these issues, but FTC complaints are new
to me. With some guidance, I''m happy to send a letter or complaint.

Thanks,
Naomi
