First, before you post this letter to a web site, please fix the typographical and spelling errors! Second, there is indeed research showing that children who consumed the formula with additives did better on cognitive development and vision tests than children who consumed the formula without additives. See Martek's bibliography -- I posted the website for that last week. You can bet that no formula makers would add this expensive ingredient if they didn't have research to back their claims that it improves child outcomes. We must be extremely careful not say anything that is not factual when trying to dismiss this new development in the world of formula, and convince women that whatever the manufacturers do to formula will not make it breast milk, or close to breast milk, or just like breast milk. We have the facts on our side already; we don't need to make things up, or spin them a certain way. If we do, it will come back to haunt us.
