Nina,
thanks for pointing that out.  It is true studies don't prove nor disprove anything, either way. It is also true the authors claim they are comparing *breasteeding* to formula feeding, whereas  actually they compare breastmilk  to formula w and w/o DHA. Though, the study goes toward the direction of intelligence not as much as a result of special ingredients the infants eat up, as of being born/exposed to a more intelligent , stimulating mother . And we know that breastfeeding involves stimulation , responsiveness, sensitivity and sensiblilty in an automatic way. Another work will be needed to take into account breastfeeding and not only breastmilk.
