This is regarding the posting about the DHA infants.  An interesting sidebar 
is that Enfamil had its yearly Nurses' conference this past week and the 
speaker was "highly touted"... My coworkers who went said she spoke about how DHA 
is now being given to adults to help with memory, that she herself took the DHA 
for herself to help improve her memory (of course she was promoting the 
Expecta that Mead Johnson now has out)....They had samples at the conference and my 
coworkers told me (I chose to work) that they all took one to help their 
memories. I looked at them and reminded them that DHA is found in their diets and 
they really weren't going to "improve" anything by one pill.
They thought it was funny. I reminded them that you also help to keep your 
mental and memory alertness by exercising you brain by reading, puzzles and 
learning throughout your life.  You don't find everything in a pill.  
Ironically, one Mom who was a "breastfeeder" told me to give her baby Enfamil 
with Lipil "that DHA" stuff to help her baby's brain...I reminded her that 
her breastmilk was the best brain food.  Oh my!  I see us having to address will 
my child pass his SATs or here in Florida his FCAT by means of infant 
feeding. If George and Jeb really don't want any child "left behind" we need to start 
addressing it prenatally and telling these Moms, children who are breastfed 
are scoring well.
