Contrary to Mr. Knox's statements, the research on cognitive outcomes does
take into account socio-economic status and parents educational level and
often ethnicity as well.  Starting with Hoefer and Hardy's research in 1929,
every study that has looked at this issue has taken into account these
potentially confounding variables.  And every study has consistently found a
slight but statistically significant IQ deficit for the formula-fed
children.
