Dr. Masterson's name has come up more then once at my weekly breastfeeding 
support group as several moms watch this show.  This isn't the first time I 
have heard her say something that wasn't based on research at all.  I even 
heard Dr. Sears correct her in a gentle manner when they were discussing 
circumsion.  Her final statement was women just prefer them circumsized (no 
cultrual bias there).  This is how she talks on the show but people listen 
because she has doctor in front of her name, not because she is presenting 
things in a pro/con or researched way.  I can hardly watch this show because 
her inaccuracy on many subjects makes me start yelling at the t.v.

Subject: Dr. Masterson's statement regarding the lack of safety of banked 
human milk

 Ugghhhh.....I mistakenly entered my kitchen as The Dr.'s (a television show 
in the US) was 'performing' and I am still fuming at the comments of Dr. 
Lisa Masterson in regards to the 'risks' of banked human milk, and the 
safety of formula as compared to banked human milk....implying formula as 
safer...suggesting pasteurization eliminates the beneficial properties of 
human milk. This is a paraphrasing but it sent me fuming!

I cannot find a clip of her comments on the show yet....

There is a message board.... ;) I already posted....your comments will add 
strength!
