I am a member of IBFAN & contacted Patti Rundall of Baby Milk Action. She
has pasted a short piece on her Policy Blog in response to the Forsyth
article in the Archive of Diseases in Childhood  which is generating rather
a lot of harmful media coverage - She writes " this is not a brilliant
analysis - but  a 'work in progress' so do continue to send comments as you
think of them.
http://info.babymilkaction.org/node/241  I am in correspondence with Prof
Forsyth about this.

Patti Rundall"

I've included her signature below which gives an idea of the scope of Baby
Milk Action and partners' impressive work for the implementation of the
Code.
