Sorry folks, but in a bottle of formula, the last thing I would worry about
is a chemical in the tap water that causes mammary and uterine cancer in *rats*.

I WOULD WORRY ABOUT THE FORMULA ITSELF.  FORMULA CAUSES MAMMARY CANCER IN
HUMANS (BOTH THE MOTHER AND THE BABY).  FORMULA ALSO CAUSES ASTHMA,
ALLERGIES, HEART DISEASE, MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, DIABETES, AND LOWER COGNITIVE
DEVELOPMENT (AS BAD AS LEAD POISONING).

Your ad is unintentionally very ironic.

Babies should be breastfed.  End of story.
