Dr. Neifert did NOT say that 5% of ALL women could't lactate.  She said that 
5% of women referred to her clinic with problems, after all the help they 
could offer, were unsuccessful in the end.  This is a VERY different population of 
women with significant problems (including early mismanagement) than the 
general population.  Her number of 5% has been misquoted over and over again.
