Oops, you're absolutely right, Rachel.  At least it's in there correctly
in the quote!  It is likely symptomatic of long years of hitting this
brick wall, but I'm not convinced that even a 20% reduction in the death
rate would cause major changes in many doctors advice! Not soon anyway.

Marsha, who is by nature an optimist!

<< Marsha's letter contained one slight arithmetical error. If the risk
of dying in the first year of life is 20% higher in US babies who were
never breastfed, that is not 20 times higher.  It is 1.2 times higher.>>
