Cindy,

I was also informed of Carnation's 100% whey composition by the local rep.
She is very proud of the fact that she is a nutritionist. As she was touting
this 100% as an advantage, I asked her why they didn't go for an 80/20 whey
to casein ratio as in REAL breastmilk and she looked at me with a completely
blank expression and asked why they would even want to have any casein, as
it is harder to digest! ;>)  I'm amazed how they don't get it.
