Noami asks which mothering article mentions Prolacta and Human Milk  Banks:
 
Fresh off the press!  Nov/Dec 2005, page 33.  "making money off  mother's 
milk" by Candace Walsh.
 
The study is by Richard J Schanler.  States "In a four year-243  preemie 
study, neonatologist Richard J Schanler found that infants fed  pasteurized donor 
breastmilk thrived no more and no less than those on  formula".  The article 
then immediately says.  "The precious  ingredients of unpasteurized breastmilk 
that fend off infection were no longer  present after pasteurization."  Now 
was this last sentence supposition on  the authors part or fact from the 
research.
 
I have personally emailed the author at Mothering requesting both the  
original research by Schanler she is referring to, and also the article/research  
she used to state pasteurization destroys antibodies.  
 
For what it's worth, a quick google search found Dr. Schanler to be a well  
published supporter of breastfeeding and lecturer with Dr Ruth Lawrence and  
others.
