You have an overly-combative debate style. It's not really working well for you.

I don't recall asking you to do my confirmation research, so whatever.>>>
Let's review: you make a statement, someone else rebuts it with fact-based evidence. You disapprove of said evidence, which means it's up to you to find something to support your side of the debate. Until you can do so, I guess "whatever" is right! If I were you, and I needed to do a better job supporting my position, as you do, I would spend THIS time looking for material with which to rebut points I disagreed with, instead of spending it writing unnecessarily snarky come-backs to your fellow debators.

A "clear, unbiased and balanced view" on BF? Um, the medical community is unaminous in its opinion on BF. If you don't find scholarly journals such as Lancet, the AAP's Journal of Pediatrics and the Journal of the American Dietetic Association to be credible sources, what sources are? If you think you're going to find reputable medical organizations' publications that discourage women from BF under almost any circumstance, you're going to have to look long and hard for such a source.

Do you believe that there is a sector of the medical community that is unbiased toward BF?

My only point was that tainted milk existed, you could not find that in the google page that I provided?

As I have said before, everything that we do, carries risk.

And where do you find this generally? Are you able to ascertain the funding behind all of the studies that were used to formulate the advice? If so, how? Your dr never, ever talks to a pharmaceutical rep?

I don't think there is a black and white answer to those questions.

Do you have an article written by a doctor?
It appears that your statement here was taken to mean you would only give credit to an article written by a doctor. That's not the case, now? Sorry if we misunderstood.

Here she confirms this, stating again that she wants an article written "by a doctor", when I provided an article written by an IBCLC.

Don't know if you got to this yet, but here it is again
"As I have said before, everything that we do, carries risk. "
Then doesn't it make sense to try to minimize risk where we can?
