This reminded me of billboards advertising Horlicks that I saw as a child
growing up in England.
Horlicks is the name of a malted milk hot drink for both children and
adults, which is manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline in the UK. A marketing
campaign in 1931 promoted it as a cure for "*night starvation*". This claim
continued to be made for many decades. I have no idea whether or not the
claim was ever challenged.

Most importantly, however, mother of three breastfed children and five
breastfeeding grandchildren.
