Just had to add my .02 worth.  There is nothing genius, or noble, or very nice, about publishing something (even on LactNet) and claiming that someone else said it.  This is academic dishonesty, right up there on a par with plagiarism, where a person claims that they wrote something that someone else actually wrote.

I don't know Mr. Tayloe, but I believe Dr. Gordon owes him a huge apology.  The fact that it would be nice if the AAP did sever their connections to the pharmaceutical/formula industry is not relevant to this matter.  What Dr. Gordon did is inexcusably wrong -- for all sorts of reasons.

And anyone who is dedicated to the idea that scientific evidence is required for claims about links between some activity and its health outcome would do well to stay as far away as possible from Dr. Gordon, who only believes in or "accepts"  the scientific evidence when it suits his preconceived notions.
