>>>The research service said that breast feeding usually is preferable to formula for most infants. But
                       sometimes, an infant will have trouble
digesting larger proteins found in breast milk, so soy
                       formula can be an alternative. <<<

Wait a minute here--  is this article saying that babies can't digest
breastmilk proteins but CAN digest the proteins from soybeans?   This
isn't possible, right?  I mean, I'm no chemist, but this doesn't make
even common sense. Someone please show me this research!

 BTW, this article (or something similar) is being run by the
Associated Press in the United States. I found it online in at least 5
separate newspapers, meaning this information is being disseminated
across the country.  How long until we start hearing doctors telling
moms that they need the Prolina formula because their babies are
breastmilk-protein intolerant? Is there some way to lodge a complaint
with the AP against such completely inaccurate information?
