Quoted from the book: "Scientific studies undertaken by health groups, the EPA, and the FDA (National Research Council 1993) show that cow's milk-based formulas have nondetectable levels of pesticides. This is due to milk fat being replaced with vegetable oil and to the multiple processing steps that formula undergoes. This is one reason we feel that mothers who learn or suspect they have high chemical body loads can feel good about feeding their babies formula." And the vegetable oil would have been obtained from which planet? I don't think so.
