I am posting this for Dr. Ana Parrilla who is for now unable to communicate via
e-mail.

She and her boss, Dr. Jose Gorrin, of the Graduate School of Public Health were
very upset to realize that prior to the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine yearly
meeting this year is scheduled a conference which is billing itself as a
"research" conference.  They read the list of sponsors and it appears to be a
"Who's Who" of the formula makers - Nestle', Abbott, Ross, Mead Johnson, Wyeth,
etc.

Has there been any information being distributed to non-suspecting physicians?
they ask.  The price of the conference obviously shows a heavy sponsoring
support.
