Well lets hope it's good!
The promoing for the current affairs segment on my toddler+ bf study that
was boradcast last year was really sensationalist ("school children
breastfeeding etc) but the actual program was pretty damn good. I too was
very very nervous (and in fact didn't watch it live, I waited until it had
finished and called someone to find out the worst before I watched it),
maybe things are changing a bit?? The current affairs program involved is
known for it's sensationalist approach...
I'll be very interested to hear about it. I tend to think that any press is
good and already I've had requests for info about adoptive breastfeeding
from the UK.

> Hi Renee,
> Promoting breastfeeding fits right in with emergency preparedness because
if

on

change

because

job
> to find 288 newborns whose parents were prone to allergies who were
willing
> to take part in the Ross study. Finding that many allergy-prone babies in
a
> city the size of St. John's was not easy.

> "It took basically all my time," Harvey says. "If I worked 40 hours a
week,
> it would also take my time in the evening and sometimes at night, like I
> always felt I was on call for 24-7 for two years or even more."
>
> Around the same time, food giant Nestle introduced the new formula Good
> Start to the North American market. The product was supposed to help
reduce
> the risk to some infants of developing allergies.
>
> The company was under increasing pressure from the U.S. Food and Drug
> Administration to prove those claims. Nestle had hired Chandra to
> scientifically test their product, but as the pressure on the company
> mounted in late 1988, Chandra was just in the early stages of conducting
> that study.
>
> By the following summer, Harvey had recruited only a handful of subjects,
so
> she was shocked when she came across the already published results of the
> Nestle study.
>
> "I would say there was only probably one-quarter of the patients even
> recruited in this study," Harvey says. "And he had all of the data
analyzed
> and published even before we had even had the data collected!"
