Gary Ezzo asserts that... their ADD

Someone should clue Gary Ezzo in to reading scientific literature; it ought
to be an eye-opening experience.  My husband's research group has found a
biological marker for ADHD...if indeed how we feed infants is part of the
picture, it will likely be how we artificially feed infants (IMHO).
