I hear your frustration and can sympathize.  I hear those same questions
and concerns in our hospital breastfeeding class.  My experience has been
that people in the US aren't used to reading beyond the headlines and even
when they do they seldom question what they see in print.  The bottomline
is, sensationalism sells papers.

Keep up the good work, challenging the author to present the complete facts.
