I would bet that Numico is selling genetically engineered baby milk.  My
notes from January when the PPL Therapeutics company announced the news of
this new milk developed from their transgenic bovine program were that the
two companies involved were Wyth and Nutricia(is Nutricia related to Numico?)
 I don't think many people realize that a human milk component was patented
in the US--John Hopkins University.  To see
http://www.med.jhu.edu/otl/9530.html
That patenting seems to be the open door in which baby milk companies around
the world are using to get a better share of the market.  The sad thing is it
is the infants of the world who have become the guinea pigs to this grand
experiment. That they are not announcing that it is gentically engineered is
understandable.  It seems rather amazing that one can patent a human milk
component but I guess anything is possible in the US. Valerie W. McClain,
