<Yet, one must pause and wonder about this research particularly when
portions
of it are funded by the very industry that will profit from this
research. . . . . . Thus, the research that backs up
the need for fortification of preterm infants is often research backed by
the
infant formula industry. I find that information troubling and cause for
concern about how much influence this industry has on the feeding of
premies. . . . .  But the
reality is that the drug and infant formula industries are profitting
from
the imitation of the amazing properties of human milk.>

Wow, Valerie. What a powerful post, diplomatically but truthfully said,
providing much needed balance to our discussion.Talk about a wolf in
sheep's clothing!
