The Dutch newspaper article makes it sound like the company is making
bizarre and wild claims.  I wonder if this is just journalistic "hype".
Certainly the web page, while claiming to have a product better than
conventional formulas, does not say they have copied human milk.  Hmmmm . .

Indeed, I noticed the same. The article in the newspaper was about the
annual presentation of the economical report of the compagny. From the
article in the newspaper (that is a very much respected newspaper, usually
it doesn't spread lies and gossip) it seemed as if the director had said:
"we've made an exact copy of human milk", "the scientific proof is almost
there", and "we will bring this milk to consumers via family docters and
via internet". This is both against the Dutch law, so I was already very
surprised. If he has said this, we do have prove he does break the
WHO-code, or at least has plans to do so. They deny they do break the Code.

I wish someone of 'us' was there to take notes of what was actually said.
