- 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

So a mom who uses cocaine would be safer for her baby if her baby was fed formula instead of breastmilk? How does that work if mom is the one doing the feeing in both cases? Wouldn't mom be rather impared either way?

And I'm not really sure how a woman attacking a cop with her breastmilk falls under the heading of tainted breastmilk. Care to explain?

I'd also like to know how much safer a meth addicted mom feeding her child formula is. Sure, the kid wouldn't have died from meth laced breastmilk but would mom really be capable of properly feeing and caring for her child while addicted?

Same questions for the heroin addicted mom too.

Care to share any actual studies that show how common tainted milk is and how dangerous it can be? Or will you just offer up another litany of hits that you got off of Google? If that's the case you might want to try Google Scholar, actual studies or their abstracts tend to go further around here than an unreferenced news or magazine article or parenting blog.

I don't know, I usually think when the eye rolling and the what is so hard to understand comments come out, lol.
I'm not about taking as few risks in life as possible.

My breastfed kid will start receiving the antibodies to an illness that I was exposed to before he starts showing symptoms of it simply by consuming my milk. It's called the active response. As far as I know, formula has no properties that allow it to change on short notice to meet the needs of the baby drinking it, including the needs of that baby for more antibodies to fight off an illness.

I think it safe to assume artificial foods are a risk.
Nope.

It was my answer to your question.

No, I didn't say any such thing.
I noticed that you are not the cl on this board, why do you keep questioning my decision to post as I have been doing.

The topic was a properly sealed gut, not human lactation. >>>
The topic is always human lactation around here. If a dr is going to have an understanding about the properly sealed gut conveyed through BFing it would seem to me that he/she would need an understanding in human lactation to help understand what it is about human milk that contributes to the properly sealed gut.

I don't feel the need to make up for not breastfeeding my children for 12 months.
As for the rest of your post, I mostly agree.
