Dear All,

I can't stop thinking about why it is that an explosive, ad
campaigne-stopping blowout occurs when the formula industry expresses their
"concerns" regarding the content of a PSA to promote breastfeedin, yet they
themselves blatantly spill unregulatedl -misleading to say the least-
information all over the TV and magazines (specifically speaking of the DHA
& ARA additives). The "science" the formula indusrty is claiming backs their
statements that these new additives are "beneficial to eye and brain
development" in the child are not even reconigized by the FDA as sufficient
evidence to make such claims. The FDA states that:

"There are no currently available published reports from clinical studies
that address whether any long-term beneficial effects exist."

Yet an incredibly well-researched, fact-based PSA that is going to improve
the wellbeing of millions of people and save this country billions of
dollars is powerfully shot down by the formula industry based on bogus
"concerns" ?!
