Question about cows milk (long)
I just realized that at least one thing is odd in those numbers I posted -- the
cow's milk shows up as *higher* in iron than the breastmilk (0.122 mg per cup
for cow's, 0.074 mg for people's). Weird. I have always heard that cow's milk
has essentially no iron, and that breastmilk has more but not a whole pile of
iron.
I need to look into this, but haven't time right now.
