breast-fed or formula-fed, so you know you're not talking huge
differences,''
cautions Dr. William Heird of the Children's Nutrition Research Center at
Baylor College of Medicine."

Well, let me tell you that if the baby had a poopy diaper I could tell you
in a second how that baby was fed!

But really, are health differences determined by what we can see at a
glance? I mean, I have a friend who smokes heavily and I don't smoke at all.
You couldn't walk out on the street and say which of us smokes and which of
us doesn't, just by looking at us. Does that mean the health differences are
insignificant? Wow.

Frankly, I think the suggestion that only differences which are instantly
visible are significant is ridiculous, and would never be made with
reference to any other health-related behaviour or decision.
