Dear Kelly, Please let me clarify my comment. I was simply surprised that as a person with a degree in nutrition, this rep could not elucidate what you did so simply and correctly --- that cow's milk casein is harder for humans to digest than human milk casein. She appeared so wrapped up in promoting her artificial milk product (in our hospital OB setting, which as I understand it, is dangerously close to violation of the WHO Code) that she did not see that I was looking at it from a different, valid perspective. And I promise not to assume the reason for her blank expression if you will do the same. Thanks for the "netiquette" reminder.
