I suppose the Leader who asked has taken care of that aspect.
Mt question was merely about the scientific background for the statements
that exclusively breastfed babies who are or seem to be overweight or obese do
not risk the same consequences as do artificially fed babies do.
Your remark about an elevated risk for developping diabetes by being fed a
overlaod of lactose is interesting. Is it not so that in oversupply not the
lactosecontent is increased, but rather the fatcontent decreased? Thus that the
lactose overlaod actually is a relative and not an absolute one?
