The amounts in formula are well within the normal variation for breastmilk, and
are set where they are, rather than right at the mean for breastmilk, because
the formula has a longer shelf life with those proportions. I don't consider
those slight differences in nutrients to be at all significant, compared to the
other differences between formula and breastmilk.
