Here is a new study relating to the subject.  I wonder what is meant by "Neonatal jaundice is a greater problem for infants fed breast milk".  This is a very interesting piece of information on beta-glucuronidase role in breastmilk, but I am not so sure about the general conclusions that can be derived from this study.  Mead Johnson were involved.  I'd like to hear some opinions about the validity of the study.
