Mira, you said "This week's (AUG. 17) TIME magazine edition (intenational)
has a section called "numbers" giving information like .. 200,000: The
number of children around the world who were infected with HIV last year
through breast feeding. I remember there was a figure for the number of
babies dying because of NOT breastfeeding. Does anyone have this number,
with a reference? I want to
write the TIME."

I have a vague idea it was 1.5 million babies die annually from uneccessary
and inappropriate formula-feeding, James Grant, UNICEF.  I've also been
wondering about this a lot lately ...
