Valerie,

You've highlighted my point exactly! The formula companies (and all
corporations) sculpt the content of the media. Sometimes that is through the
strategy of funding studies that are then well publicized to journalists.
Journalists are always looking for a story so they pick it up.

I am growing to believe that it won't be until people are given an "expose"
of formula (i.e. the risks you've mentioned so eloquently) that they will pay
attention. Unfortunately, formula companies may attempt to quash such things
much the same way the tobacco companies have.

And you are so very right, as Linda Smith recently said to me, and I
paraphrase, "There's no such thing as 'formula poisoning' on the death
certificate." But there ought to be.

Martha
