Formula risks...I believe



  • Formula has risks that are unacceptable if breastmilk is available
  • Formula has risks but it's OK to choose it if you understand the risks
  • Formula has risks but it's OK to choose it even if you DONT understand the risks
  • Formula has some risks but they are overblown
  • Formula has risks but so does breastmilk, and the risks are about the same
  • Formula doesn't have any risks
  • Other, please explain

Mary perhaps said it better than I, but the fact that there are some women who truly cannot breastfeed doesn't change the fact that formula is a sub-standard form of infant nutrition.

The second was an interesting read and while I don't have the time right now to read the entire report, it seems that a frequent comment throughout the was that some of the data was bias, with a wide range of quality and that many results were inclusive.


<<We have summarized the effects of breastfeeding (or breast milk feeding) on a large number of infant and maternal outcomes. Some of the outcomes are well defined and specific (e.g., childhood acute lymphocytic leukemia, breast cancer); and some are not so well defined and non-specific (e.g., asthma, non-specific gastrointestinal infections). When the reported outcome is well defined and specific, it lends confidence that the effect reported is valid for that outcome. When the reported outcome is not well defined, one might have some reservation regarding the validity of the measured effect for that outcome. For all the above reasons, we find that there is a wide range of quality of evidence for the different outcomes examined in this review.>>

It's not substandard to those who can't or are not breastfeeding.

"So what are the universal consequences to all of the people in the world that were formula fed?"


Universal consequences?
