Dear all:

I can't help posting about a new paper coming out by the chair of my dissertation 
committee at Cornell and his wife, an anthropologist.  

***************************************
The paper is also available on-line as an early look publication in Maternal and Child 
Nutrition; it will appear in hard copy in January. Pelto, G.H., Zhang, Y. & Habicht, J.-P. 
(2009) Premastication: the second arm of infant and young child feeding for health and 
survival? Maternal and Child Nutrition. Doi:10.1111/j.1740-8709.2009.00200.x. In press. 
Preview online as of July 29, 2009 
http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/122525377/abstract

They also wrote a letter to Pediatrics to rebut the unwarranted conclusions drawn by Guar 
and colleagues that premastication transfers HIV, and that letter has been accepted.

Sometimes our obsession with sterility gets us in trouble.
