Actually, we are usually UNDER-stating.
As in the example given: "breastfed babies have 40% fewer ear
infections - which really
means that formula fed babies have 60% more ear infections"
It really means that ff babies have 66% more ear infections.
(if bf have 60 infections and ff have 100 infections, then 40 more is
2/3rds more)
