"Imagine if today, scientists discovered a drug that could save 13 per
cent of all the babies who currently die. Now imagine that drug also
made your baby cleverer – and dramatically slashed her chances of
developing heart disease, diabetes, leukaemia, asthma or obesity as an
adult. Oh: and imagine it was free.
The "drug" exists. It is called breast milk. Yet in the developed world,
we often stigmatise women who give it to their babies as "creepy". In
the developing world, we allow corporations to tug babies from their
mother's nipple, and put them on to powders that bring more profit – and
more death."
