Well, as I see it, if, in fact, breastfeeding for longer than 4 months
causes "stiffer" blood vessels, then we are supposed to have "stiffer"
blood vessels.  Whenever we are measuring and come out with findings that
people fed human milk have more, less, higher, lower, stiffer, softer, or
whatever than those who aren't fed human milk, then those measurements
would be healthier. Breastfeeding is the norm.

This stuff is scraping the bottom of the barrel. I know that the "public"
are vulnerable to misinformation, but it's incredulous to believe that
anyone would accept results that claim that human milk is less optimal for
human infants than the milk of another species of animal--or of a plant.
