This can be very effective. It was the basis for the whole BFing Ad Campaign last year. Linda Smith made up her own like this, each containing 1-2 journal references. 
Her "Nice Pack" stated the fact from the viewpoint that "breast is best".
Her "Fact Pack" stated the fact from the viewpoint that "breast is normal" and NOT breastfeeding is very risky. You could make your own with very current references; perhaps with a Nice on one side and a Fact on the other side. Just be careful with wording and %ages to be sure they are accurate.
Or check her web site <www.bflrc.com> in case she still has them for sale - not sure on that.
