For some reason I receive a bunch of magazines which I never ordered--nor do
I get a bill.

One is Child, which I was impressed with until I got to page 72 of the Sept
2004 issue:

" DID YOU KNOW?
How did babies survive on breast milk alone throughout evolution if, as we
now know, breastfed infants need extra vitamins and iron in their daily
diet?  The noted infant nutritionist Samuel J. Fomon, M.D., professor of
pediatrics at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, says that because people
historically lived outside most of the tme, infants got iron from contact
with the soil and significant vitamin K by ingesting the bacteria in their
unsanitary environment.  Also, unlike babies who are raised indoors, they
were exposed to much more sunlight, which converts body chemicals into
Vitamin D."

I think this is really misleading since he doesn't address the iron issue in
the first part of the paragraph, but because he's mentioned as an expert
it's almost validating it.

Any other thoughts?
