Sorry, this comes across as ... really ignorant. Of course there is a need. Some people have to make the decision whether to breast feed or not (e.g. because of medication the mother is taking) and ideally they need this kind of information to make an informed decision.
- sbenitoj 9y agoLet me clarify, I'm not saying that it shouldn't be studied. My point is this -- people can be convinced by "studies" and people in white coats that formula is similar or possibly better than breastmilk (see the last 50 years of medicine before they came back around to recommending breastfeeding). Studies are obviously important, but logic can't be thrown out the window just because a "study" purports to show something -- if you're going to make a counter claim why something like formula is better or even comparable to breastmilk (as scientists and doctors did for A LONG TIME), you have to have an OVERWHELMING amount of evidence, the burden of proof is on you, you basically have to disprove evolution to prove that formula is in any way comparable to breastmilk from a healthy, well-fed mother -- and good luck disproving evolution!
