Abbott has been promoting the use of Lutein in their product for awhile now. I saw a flier on the wall where I work today for a presentation put on my abbott in regards to The health benefits of lutein. I was upset (to use nice words) to see this posted as it had the Abbott name and logo on it. When I questioned this - I was asked if I had seen the presentation before (no, of course) and was then informed that it was a wonderful presentation/highly informative about Lutein - how the brain uses it and how it affects eye development by Elizabeth Johnson, PhD. I was also told that she didn't reference formula although I couldn't understand how a person who is being paid from a company wouldn't advertise for them. 

By question to all of you - Have any of you actually sat through this presentation and was there any reference made toward formula? Next question - has the rest of the formula companies also started to add this to their ingredient list. 

Thanks, 
Jessica Callahan IBCLC, RN
