WHO also gives a recipe for home-made ABM that meets the international standard
for ABM. I do not shudder with this, I think it will makes clear to people that
'formula' isn't such a high standard processed etc stuff , but a cow's milk
mixture.

So many people do not realize there is not such a big difference between 'normal'
cow's milk and formula.
