Katherine D. wondered if Dr. Sears was on the board of directors of Martek.
It appears not.  I report the following:

The Board of Directors of Martek. (Obtained from their website;
www.martekbio.com)

Henry Linsert, Jr.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Richard Radmer Ph.D.
President and Chief Scientific Officer

Jules Blake Ph.D.
Former Vice President, Corporate Scientific Affairs of Colgate-Palmolive Co.

Ann Johnson, MD
Mills Peninsula Hospital
Psychiatrist/Psychopharmacologist

Gordon Macklin
Former Chairman of Hambrecht & Quist Group,
Former President of the National Association of Securities Dealers. INC

Douglas MacMaster
Former Senior Vice President of Merck & Co., Inc.

John Mahar
President of Hillside Management

Sandra Panem Ph.D.
Former President of Vector Fund Management LP

Eugene Rotberg
Former Executive Vice President of Merrill Lynch & Co. and Treasurer of World
Bank

William Smart
Former President of Ross Laboratories and Corporate Vice President of Abbott
Laboratories

Since there are all these high finance people on the board and those that
were formally associated with Merk, Ross and Abbott, I can imagine that
increasing the rates of BF in the world are not in the interests of this
company either.  As a previous LACTNETTER posted, sure making formula better
is a good thing, but companies are not going to do it unless they can make a
buck at it.  And they will make fewer bucks at it the more that children are
BF.
