Hi Magda,
That's good to know that IBJ also does not accept papers funded by the 
infant formula industry. I have also been told privately that Breastfeeding 
Medicine and Birth have similar policies. Intestestingly I did look at a 
couple of these journals to see if I could find their policies but was not 
successful. You've got to know where to look obviously.
I've seen an advertorial from infant formula manufacturers in the British 
Journal or Midwifery that was indexed for  Medline! They would have to be 
the worst I have come across.
