It makes very tired and angry that this guilt question is always raised in bf
matters, never on other things like lungcancer and smoking: ''Oh dear let's
better not tell them that smoking increases cancer risk, people might feel sooo
guilty if they new they could have prevented daddy's death if he hadn't
smoked''; eating animal fats and heart disease, vaccination and life-long
physical damage: ''We'd better not tell that polio myelitis could have prevented
when parents had just vaccinated the child; they'd feel so guilty if they
knew.''
