The critical point is: how did they define BF?  If it is usual, than study
isn't worth the time, $ and effort they put into   it and you can use the
paper for TP (my grocery list abbreviation for toilet paper :-)  Isn't it
SAD that they put all that effort into a probably VERY invalid study.  BF
means unsupp for 6 mo or so to me!  Any other definition  skews the
results.  ( and yes, I have 3 grandchildren -  unsupp who  have developed
eczema and asthma.  I think the critical point is that the asthma didn't
develop until 6, 8 & 10 years.  We have a STRONG family hx of asthma and
allergies and neither mom  or dad of these kids was BF).  Sincerely, Pat in
SNJ
