I think the differences in studies may also be due to funding of studies.
Some of Schanler's studies are funded by Ross/Abbott Labs.  see
http://www.bcm.tmc.edu/pedi/neonate/content_05.html
Baylor College of Medicine, where Schanler does his research, is also very
involved in research on genetic engineering of lactoferrin.  Of course this
research is about making a substance similiar to breast milk to be used in
formula and drugs.

Funding sources seem to change researcher's outlook and/or the way in which
they are presented to the public.  Valerie W. McClain, IBCLC
