<< positive breastfeeding language in the medical literature

 Hooray!  It is finally happening:  data is being reported NOT as a
 "benefit of breastfeeding" but as an "increased morbidity from
 bottle-feeding."  I just finished reading the full text of Scariati's June
 Pediatrics article, and I quote:  "When compared with exclusively
 breastfed infants, infants who received formula only had an 80% increase
 in their risk of developing diarrhea and a 70% increase in their risk of
 developing an ear infection."

I think she meant to write "infants who received formula-only", meaning the
group of infants ONLY received formula.
