Mira, you said "This week's (AUG. 17) TIME magazine edition (intenational) has a section called "numbers" giving information like .. 200,000: The number of children around the world who were infected with HIV last year through breast feeding. I remember there was a figure for the number of babies dying because of NOT breastfeeding. Does anyone have this number, with a reference? I want to write the TIME." I have a vague idea it was 1.5 million babies die annually from uneccessary and inappropriate formula-feeding, James Grant, UNICEF. I've also been wondering about this a lot lately ...
