formula - www.ezboard.com"</A>

Hello all,
Clicking in to the above is NOT fun .
Last week I was handed an invitation by the formula rep at our hospital to
attend a dinner/talk by one of the hospital's pediatricians on the DHA/ARA
supplements.   Because of this I spent a portion of the w/e investigating the
fundamentals further in an effort to develop some ??.   None of the LCs will attend
the dinner but feel strongly that we should have some intelligent ??
formulated.   I checked out the NABA website for info and via their hyperlinks read
the communications between the FDA and martek.
Unfortunately, through a google search I came upon the above posting to a
chat room and subsequently the posters website detailing, among other things, the
"201 reasons to formula feed".   Has anyone come across this site before?
The post and the site are comprehensive and well thought out with rebuttal
for each of the "claims"   (her words) made in the NABA website.   In fact, she
directly questions NABA' s integrity.
In terms of the Lipil argument, I would love to hear some rebuttal from the
Lactnet members more well versed in this than I because I imagine when
questioned, the pedi above will respond in like fashion.
 Marsha, have you seen this?
I would love to hear what others think of the website as well.
How ironic and disingenuous that these anti breastfeeders can vehemently
attack the "risks of formula feeding" science out of one side of their mouths but
tacitly endorse it out of the other by backing this formula "enhancement" .
