Well,  it's happened - a  student of mine reports a class last night when a

breast fed baby is no healthier than a baby fed on  
formula'.


~ This seems to be a problem all over, people do not read studies, they  
read articles that claim to report study findings.  This dad has read ABOUT  a 
study, relying on someone else to form conclusions, or even skew wordings, 
so  that the info that circulates may not even be representative of the 
actual  findings. I guess that is something we can share with people who hear 
about  studies?
