The research concerning adding DHA to formula/ABM is not clear. DHA is a
part of the complex web of nutrients, enzymes, growth factors and other
factors in breastmilk, with a myriad of complicated interractions, of which
we understand very little. Simply adding it to formula does NOT imply it
will function the same way, or at all! The DHA manufacturers are doing their
best to create a need (especially for supplements to mothers who are
breastfeeding).
