I understand part of the propaganda put out by the ABM Co's that make these
new improved formulas strongly suggest that the amt of DHA/ARA found in
human milk is unpredictable or unreliable or inadequate in some way and mom
puts her baby at risk if she has a "poor" diet lacking in these essential
oils. So of course she needs to supplement with DHA/ARA - which is made by
(DRRRUUUMMM ROOLLLLL - RIM SHOT!!!) the same ABM Co's that make these new
improved formulas as they strongly suggest.....  etc etc
And of course can the FDA and the ADA be far behind in strongly supporting
that recommendation.
