Hi Lactnetters,
It's good to be back on Lactnet after a many month hiatus.
The recent news on hormone replacement therapy should give even greater
pause to those doctors, hospitals and parents who would jump on the
DHA/AA- fortified formula bandwagon. I can't help but be struck by the
similar reasoning--providing a synthetic form of a naturally occurring
substance in hopes of mimicking the naturally occurring effect. Correct
me if I am wrong, but don't we have even less research supporting the
benefits of fortifying formula than we had on the benefits of estrogen?
If I were an executive or stockholder at Mead Johnson, I'd be feeling a
wee bit uneasy right now...
