I don't know how long the www.webmd.com site has been like this, someone
only pointed it out to me today. the main page has:
"from the WebMD National news Center - 4 weeks to an Easier Pregnancy" and
an offer to "sign up" for their WebMD university - which is sponsored by
Enfamil. Presumably you will get on the MJ mailing list also? There is loads
of parenting advice all brought to you by "the makers of Enfamil", and ad
banners all around the inner pages. Ironically, the other 2 ads on the front
page are for Insulin and Prozac, and an offer for a free breast cancer
"course".

This is a blatant example of formula advertisement coming as "medical
advice". Do not peruse site if you have high blood pressure! I am working up
a complaint letter, do you think it's worth it?
