"just wondering what some of your come-backs are to this kind of statement:
"i was bottle fed formula and i'm fine and so is ... and....""

My usual statements are 2:
-we are NOT OK! - increasing allergies, cancers, heart disease, etc.
-the fact that most of us are "OK" is not due to the formula, but due to the
amazing adaptability of the human body!  We can take garbage and turn it into
fuel and living tissue!  (I am old enough I was fed evaporated milk with water
and Karo syrup - hardly adequate nutrition!).
