I must have been asking for it when I did an internet search on "infant
formula", because if you check this page out, you'll be on blood pressure
medication within minutes (half kidding...)

It's from the FDA, believe it or not, and I just don't know what to make of
it. Titled, "Infant Formula: Second Best But Good Enough," it does say
things like "Human milk contains living cells, hormones, active enzymes,
immunoglobulins and compounds with unique structures that cannot be
replicated in infant formula." and "creating formula that duplicates human
milk is impossible", but the rest of the article is very disheartening. Can
some one help me out with comments to assist me in formulating a response?
I don't know where to start.

Find it at:

http://www.fda.gov/fdac/features/596_baby.html

If you are web-challenged email me and I'll send you a copy in a message.
