In my previous post, I failed to note the URL for the UK UNICEF BFI press release refuting the Lancet study on asthma.  It is:
http://www.babyfriendly.org.uk/press.asp#230902

As well, the links in the post were not active as follows:

"The study by Sears and colleagues in the Lancet (20 September 2002) finds no protective effect of breastfeeding against asthma and other allergic diseases. This contradicts the findings of other studies  at http://www.babyfriendly.org.uk/health.asp#allergic, notably research published in July by Oddy and colleagues at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=12110822&dopt=Abstract

Hope this helps.
