This is B*&ls*&t, and "speak" that means "We don't want to make mothers 
feel guilty if they have not or will not breastfeed."

The data is clear on environemental toxins. This is just one of many 
excuses that is not applicable, and besides the point.  Formulas contain 
environmental toxins.

Could be another example of sacrificing breastfeeding on the altar of 
ignorance. The data is clear and there for those who are interested in 
finding it. For those who are not, it's easier to give a glib and pointless 
excuse.
