Hm. The Professor Barker of this study was interviewed on BBC radio
this morning, and said very clearly 'if the baby is breastfed or
formula fed in the first months of life - it makes no difference
which - and grows well, the risks are reduced.'

Now, this may be literally true, according to his study (which I have
yet to read) - that is, if small babies grow adequately in the first
year, they no longer have the same risks of CHD that they started
life with. But I don't know if they actually looked at feeding
method, or just growth.

I was a bit sad at the comment.
