Jimi Francis, PhD, IBCLC has been doing this work, she presented at ILCA
a few years ago that wide mouthed bottles caused vitamin C and E to
oxidize/break down more quickly than narrow mouth bottles, and small but
full bottles had less breakdown than larger but more empty bottles. In
other words, it seems to be about the amount of the air space in the bottle.
Did anyone else notice that she's the clinical director of Simplisse
now? I'll bet she was the one who did the studies on nutrient oxidation
in the Dr. Brown's bottles. I'd bet she'll be at ILCA this year,
especially if Simplisse is an exhibitor. We can all ask her our questions.
HandiCraft company bought Whittlestone's hand pump years ago, I met a
company exec at a conference speaker dinner right after this happened.
So, the connections here are no surprise. Didn't you know as soon as you
read the 'a health mom = healthy breast milk' blurb that they were going
to be hawking vitamins too?
