I am willing to bet the errors in manufacturing ABM create a greater
electrolyte imbalance than this method ever did--not to mention what
parents/grandparents PURPOSELY do when they overconcentrate formula.  I
read this week that one study found 22% of mothers at a welfare clinic in
GB were overconcentrating ABM.
