I thought it was better than most mainstream comparisons we see in the
US, but I felt he mitigated a lot of the good information with this
paragraph:
"When you add up all the risk factors, it sounds daunting. However,
trying to predict the likelihood that any one child will get any one
illness is impossible. Likewise, lower risk is no guarantee; some
breastfed babies get ear infections and some bottle-fed babies don’t.
And let’s face it: There are a lot of healthy adults walking around
who were raised on formula."
This comes up in conversation a LOT, and I tend to say, "Yes, but
there's no telling how bad that bf baby's ear infections would have
been had he been on formula--the severity and incidence were both
probably reduced" or something to that effect.
Still, I was more pleased than not, I would say.
