HA! First, no one got upset about the scare tactics on billboards across North America regarding smoking. Second, oh horrors! Someone might actually wake up to the fact that the formula companies are scamming the people and deserve the class action suit that went at the Tobacco companies. That's right! Since the formula companies have not set any reasonable minimum nutritional level standards for formulas and they have actively advertised as to their nutritional competency, they deserve to be responsible for all the "dumbed", "diabetic", "cancerous" children that were not breastfed because the families were tricked into believing they were giving something nutritious to their children. They were tricked into believing they were doing no harm to their children. What is part of the Hippocratic Oath? "Do no harm" So what are doctors doing allowing formula to be given as a "reasonable substitute" for breastmilk? Think about it carefully. I sincerely hope North America (and the world really) wakes up to the harm done by these companies and puts it to them where it hurts! Their pocket books and profits! Dig it in! Tell the world about their scams and lies! Tell the world about their duplicity! Make them take responsibility for the harm they have done! Of course they want to dumb down the ads, they don't want to take responsibility for the harm they KNOW they've caused. They owe those families a huge compensation and they had better start paying out! I'm lucky. I never believed the smoking ads and I never believed the formula ads. My babies are "smoke-free" and the first two were breast fed until they were almost 3 years old! In tandem for about a year too! The third one here is only 7 months old so I have no idea what age she'll be breastfed to. Likely, to something similar to her siblings, knowing me. Oh, and that whole "breastfed babies need Vit. D" BS? Not true! First, Vit. D is fat soluble and the babies stock up on it just like iron before they are born. Second, both Vit. D and iron are in the milk in appropriate amounts as long as mom is getting appropriate amounts. "It's less though!" Yes, it is..it's also more digestible and absorbable. 100% of less is still far greater than the amount absorbed of chemical versions of these nutrients, which is what is in those supplements forced on breastfeeding moms. Do your own research, don't be scammed into gullible ignorance! Don't want to go with scare tactics? HA!
