Fatal heart attacks among young people aged 15-34 is all over the news
today. The death rate in this group rose 10%  in men and 32 % in women
during the 90s.   Researchers think the reasons are obesity, smoking,
and  drug abuse. We already know formula fed infants are more likely to
be  obese.

I know research is not done this way, but how hard would it be to find out
what percentage of these people were formula fed?  This age group was born
when breastfeeding rates were at their lowest, right?

Enquiring minds want to know...
