Dear Lactnet Friends:
Venneman, in Pediatrics 2009, showed that formula feeding doubled the risk
of SIDS. Here's a new one with a new idea about the reason. I hope my cut
and paste comes through to everyone.

Study connects SIDS risk with infant formula

An opioid-like element of cow's milk that is commonly found in infant
formulas may be linked to sudden infant death syndrome, a world first study
has found.
Polish researchers from the University of Warmia and Mazury recently
reported that 12 formula-fed infants who had experienced ''near-miss SIDS''
episodes where they temporarily stopped breathing had triple the number of
peptides known as beta-casomorphin-7 (BCM-7) in their blood compared to 20
healthy formula-fed babies who had not experienced breathing difficulties.
The 12 children who had experienced life-threatening breathing problems also
had low levels of an enzyme (named dipeptidyl peptidase-IV or DPPIV) known
to deactivate or modify BCM-7.
