OK. I've got to know, how many of these milk-feds were fed milk and 
Karo, or such, exclusivley from birth, and without other food 
supplements for several months. And then, how many dead siblings do 
they have? I think the other foods helped with the survival, and a large 
number of those told (I'm not referring to any of you; just "those" in 
general), they were raised on this or that had some weeks of breastmilk 
and then many other foods as well. Also, the nutrition of the mother is 
a component. Many of the moms before say the 50's or 60's would have 
been well nourished (and allowed to gain weight during pregnancy); 
especially those farm moms. Some (especially larger) babies may have 
had enough stores of certain nutrients to get by for some time without 
them in diet. The blend of milk, meat, fruits, vegetables and grains that 
someone mentioned was probably the best artificial feed of all.   linda
