Just for the record - it seems my assertion that infants can sometimes
develop antibodies to cow milk protein has some credence in the medical
world. Here it is from a health "professional".
So that's two for two - 1) Nestle *is* evil and under sanction from the
World Health Organization, and 2) there are risks of developing an immune
response to cows milk in infants.
I got a lot of flack last month for stating these ideas a few weeks ago
and not having an MD. Lay people can actually be knowlegable about health
issues. It doesn't mean you should accept what I say without doing your
own research, but you shouldn't blindly believe what a doctor tells you
either. Doctors are human and can't read every medical and public health
journal.
