There are many pieces of info that they can and will send you if you are
interested. I found their brochures interesting and informative...and I am
going to get them to hand out at meetings I attend.

Nestle and American Home Products AHP are the world's two largest infant
formula manufacturers. They violate the WHO code guidelines for marketing of
breastmilk substitutes. The ACA is not calling for a ban on infant formula,
they are calling for these mega industries to adhere to the WHO code.
Nestle and AHP market formula through the health care system of the US and
other countries.

I was surprised at the companies that are owned by these megacompanies:

There is a little pocket fold up guide that you can get for free ( am going
to get several and hand them out in my practice, etc...so that I will not
purchase any of these products in the grocery store.

I think this information is important.
