And, of course, immunofortis is made by MARTEK, our friend of old, and 
silver sponsor at the Midwife's Conference in Glasgow. (Did anyone see 
any fuss in Glasgow itself, no one has ever got back to me from either 
Royal College of Midwives, or International Confederation of Midwives.)

And in absence of being able to market formula, a massive campaign on 
highlighting immunofortis in follow-on milk in the UK marches ever onward...

Strange they haven't mentioned the bowel problems associated with some 
babies on immunofortis...

Pamela, may I send your analysis on to someone else? :-)

My psychic powers predicts this report is going to turn up in 'news' 
reports within the next week or so... Ah, our dear friends at the BBC, 
they used to actually have journalistic standards...

Aptamil have very successfully filled the top end of the formula market 
in the UK, by being seen by professionals, as the 'closest to 
breastmilk'. Again, Martek's "parents paying premium for quality".
