WOW!  I wonder how that got started.  As I was reading the beginning of the
article, I wondered how it would affect people in our culture.  I also
wondered:  What if the scientists were to study the hazards of artificial
baby milk (ABM) instead?  Why do formula-fed children have an increased risk
of (name of disease)?  What is it about ABM feeding that increases the risk
of mortality and morbidity?  Imagine the repercussions in the USA,
especially the scientific circles, and the rest of our society.  It could be
revolutionary!  Imagine the reaction in the ABM companies; and in the
medical professions, especially the pediatricians, RNs, hospital
supervisors, etc.  I relish the thought. Would the parents who "choose" to
feed ABM feel guilty if they heard about such scientific reports?
