PS that report from China is *so aggravating*.  The mothers "thought" their 
breastmilk was sufficient, forsooth!  How much incalculable harm is being 
done by these arrogant people waltzing in and telling all these mothers 
they're wrong?  I am assuming the "protein deficiency" was deduced from the 
slower growth rate of breastfed babies in the second half-year compared (as 
these authors would do) to formula-fed European/American babies.  I hope 
someone is going to write a reasoned, thorough, convincing, well-referenced 
response to the journal.  This is not my week for doing that.  Going nomail 
now--it's been such a breath of fresh air being back on Lactnet for a few 
weeks!
