A doctor in this area regularly recommends overdiluting abm.  In one
case, the infant became FTT, and he did kidney tests and scared the
parents half to death.  This baby was only 11 lbs at 3 mos old (was over
9 at birth) and barely had the strength to lift her arms.  Mom finally
sought a second opinion, stopped overdiluting the abm (2 cans of water to
1 can of concentrate), and the baby recovered.  We don't know if there
was any damage to her cognitive abilities yet.  Scary.
