Replying to Denise's questions again, echoed by Rachel, this time 
concerning the co-author of _that_ study, (Flaherman, V. J., Aby, J., 
Burgos, A. E., Lee, K. A., Cabana, M. D. & Newman, T. B.  Effect of 
Early Limited Formula on Duration and Exclusivity of Breastfeeding in 
At-Risk Infants: An RCT. Pediatrics. Published online May 13, 2013 
doi: 10.1542/peds.2012-2809

) I just heard from our friend Valerie McClain that the listed 
co-author Cabana MD is Dr Michael D Cabana from California UCSF.  He 
was/is the lead investigator to several of Nestle's clinical trials 
on infant formula - one is a starter formula.  You can read all about 
it 
at 
<http://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT01079208>http://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT01079208 
She also raises the question about how likely it was that his 
co-researchers did not know of his involvement with Nestle?   My 
gratitude to Valerie for her dedication, persistence and skill in 
finding out about these kinds of connections.

Denise wrote.............I'm not exactly sure which coauthor is 
connected to the formula industry or how, but it was reported out by 
both the LA times and The Huffington Post (not exactly primary sources.

Rachel wrote........I don't see any mention of ties to industry under 
'author affiliations'. Denise, can you be more specific about which 
author you mean, and what those ties are?
