I think this is my issue w/ Lucas. This guy knows the media and as a good
scientist he should have foreseen the spin this would be given. I will read
the study, but in general, someone as knowledgeable as he is should not
participate in a poorly designed study where the "obvious" conclusions wreak
havoc on the well-being of babies. Ans as Jack and Valerie said, the good
studies don't get out, so don't we have to wonder who is behind the mass
marketing of this study to the media--perhaps the companies who funded it?
