Dear, friends,
If we're talking physiological variables, how do we interpret this ''very, very low''? Very low as compared to what? Should it not be wise to presume that if allehuman milk has a certain percentage or promilage of iron this will be the physiologic norm and exactly what a human infant will need?
Warmly,
