Dear Lactnet Friends:

How much money, time, effort, and resources are going to manufacturing a
product that won't make babies sick? What is the point????

In the formula industry's own marketing report, hypoallergenic formulae are
identified as being highest in MSG, a neurotoxin that adults don't want to
ingest because it gives us headaches!

"The study published in NEJM is the pilot for a larger, on-going
international trial called TRIGR <http://trigr.epi.usf.edu/about.html> (Trial
to reduce Insulin-dependent diabetes in the Genetically at-Risk), which is
designed to determine whether weaning to a specialized formula decreases the
risk of developing type 1 diabetes.  The larger study involves more than
2,160 infants in 15 countries (including those featured in the Finland
study) and tracks the children up until their 10th birthday for the
development of diabetes and the presence of diabetes-related antibodies.
All of the participants in the study have a genetic susceptibility to
diabetes, and had at least one family member with type 1 diabetes.

"The preliminary results from this study could shed additional light on a
possible way to prevent the onset of type 1 diabetes in individuals who have
been identified at risk for the disease," Dr. Insel added. "It is important
to note that these results are not statistically significant in showing the
prevention of type 1 diabetes.  Breastfeeding should still be encouraged,
and it shouldn't change how parents wean their infants.  Furthermore, it is
unknown whether similar results would be observed in infants from the
general population."   "I look forward to seeing the results of the larger
TRIGR study, which will provide further insight and evidence into the role
that cow's milk formula is a risk factor for developing type 1 diabetes," he
added. Final results of the TRIGR study are expected to be completed in
2017."
