This TRIGR study seems to be very worrisome research study. I would also
think it is against the Helsinki Regulations. With the research that has
already been done regarding the correlation of bf and lowered risk for
Diabetes I, I also wonder why they didn't use bf. On the other hand with
babies, if some intervention is already "known" to reduce risk for a
condition and another intervention is promoted for the benefit of research
it seems there are serious ethical problems.

Is there anything to be done? Is this something that UNICEF and/or WHO can
relate to?
