>>OK, the "recipe" for the "Science Fair" test tubes comparing digestion of
breastmilk, formula and cows milk is: 2/3 white vinegar and 1/3 milk.  You
can try different ratios and see what happens.<<

I heard about this wonderful example a few years ago, but also wondered about
the "recipe".  I would want to approximate what happens when milk hits the
stomach, and it doesn't seem to me that there is more acid in the stomach
than milk in such a ratio!  Does anyone have more specific knowledge that can
address this? Does the ratio used for this illustration matter, or is it only
the principle that matters?
