This is an open letter to Lactnet, ILCA, IBLCE and other lactation
mailing lists with which I am associated:

I would like to let you all know that the Borneo Post (Indonesia)
newspaper has printed an article about lactose intolerance on Friday
July 9, 1999. The article was written by me for publication by the
Nursing Mothers' Association of Australia (NMAA) and the
re-publication by the Borneo Post is completely without my
permission, or NMAA's permission and also without the knowledge of
either. What makes matters worse, is that it appears in the newspaper
to be attributed to Nestle, and is accompanied by a large Nestle
advertisement for a toddler formula. I am assuming that the article
was lifted from the NMAA web site, where it was posted recently.

I would like it to be known that I *do not* write for Nestle. (The
thought of this makes me feel quite ill.) They also truncated my
credentials, including (probably fortunately) omitting IBCLC and NMAA
Breastfeeding Counsellor.

I and NMAA are presently considering what action is appropriate to deal
with the situation.
