Thanks for the reference Margaret.

Looks like I'm able to jump in just a tad before any other
weissinger-converts ....

"Infants aged 0-5 months who are not breastfed have seven-fold and five-
fold increased risks of death from diarrhoea and pneumonia, respectively,
compared with infants who are exclusively breastfed."

We've made progress Diane - the breastfed baby is being taken as the
biological norm.  BUT they still can't bring themselves to say the F word
can they?
Even just for the sake of good English it would read much better and more
simply if they said "Infants aged 0-5 months who are FORMULA fed have
seven..." etc.  I had to go back and read it twice to see what they were
actually saying.

10 MINUTES LATER:  I've only read the Editorial by Sarah Venis so far, but
hey this sounds really good.  The above criticism is minor to the ideals
and goals of this series.  I can't wait to read the whole series.

Denise
