Bovine lactoferrin is on the GRAS list at the FDA to be used as an addition
to infant formula.  But how do they get bovine lactoferrin?  According to
several text books I have looked in comparing human to bovine lactoferrin,
bovine lactoferrin has trace or virtual no lactoferrin!!!!!  Lecture notes I
found by WL Hurley had a chart comparsion--when copied it was written in
Greek.  So you have to go to that site to see the comparison:

Lonnerdal's work also repeats that cow milk has almost no lactoferrin.  So
what is it that we now are calling bovine lactoferrin that must go into
infant formula??? Yeah, my guess would be cloned human lactoferrin!  Valerie
