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

"Again, I haven't stated anything about how often it occurs, who determines it or anything else relevant to the questions you have been asking.

"I have answered."


You haven't answered me.


"Again, I don't live in a black and white world...I don't think those are simple and straight forward questions either...let alone to the point.

Which is why the disclaimer ****all things being equal**** was added.

Actually, some things in life are black and white. Breastmilk **always** trumps formula. End of story. If you can find any evidence to the contrary, please post it.

Thank you, yes I see the citations...but the articles that are referenced are not links to the articles themselves.

"Someone posted a wonderful link that clearly stated in many cases that there wasn't a difference between formula fed babies and breastfed ones in many different areas.

So? Do you think the authors of the article are making up studies to prove their point? And, yes, lol, I know you didn't say that...I'm trying to get at what you're implying. What difference does it make if the article is cited, or there's a link to the article? (FYI, many of these articles are not available on-line unless you pay a hefty subscription fee).

Your whole debate style consists of making statements then arguing "that's not what I meant" when you're questioned on your assertion.

Let's cut through the b.s. Why don't you tell us exactly what it is you are arguing here? The topic is "formula risks." Do you think formula does not have more risks relative to breastfeeding? (discounting "tainted" milk, of course).

It wasn't a statement, it was a question.
