Thanks for all of the responses, I have read some of the referenced
material.  However...
While I can't ignore the milk has effects, I think that childhood
environment has a lot to do with test results.  I mean, most of the kids
tested are 6-8 years old and I am positive they weren't left alone and
tube fed all that time.  From what I have read here on Lactnet, women
who succeed in BFing (or even getting EBM to) their preemies have to be
insistant.  Wouldn't that indicate more of a "want" to bond and spend
time with their child (that may surpass just the infant stage)?
*I do not want you to think I am not in favor of BF or its advantages!*
I am not a doubting Thomas, I just am interested in seeing all sides of
this cube :)

child.
