Suck On This by Pat Thomas
*ANY* health issue is appropriate right here on MHA.
Ye ole *what does this have to do with alternative medicine* does not fly and is a clue that it is 100% correct. The pro-meds *gang* does not want to hear it. "D. C. Sessions" wrote "JOHN" wrote in message ... http://whale.to/b/thomas.html Compared to breastfed babies, bottlefed babies are twice as likely to die from any cause in the first six weeks of life. In particular, bottlefeeding raises the risk of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) by two to five times. Bottlefed babies are also at a significantly higher risk of ending up in hospital with a range of infections. They are, for instance, five times more likely to be admitted to hospital suffering from gastroenteritis. Even in developed countries, bottlefed babies have rates of diarrhoea twice as high as breastfed ones. They are twice as likely (20 per cent vs 10 per cent) to suffer from otitis media (inner-ear infection), twice as likely to develop eczema or a wheeze if there is a family history of atopic disease, and five times more likely to develop urinary tract infections. In the first six months of life, bottlefed babies are six to 10 times more likely to develop necrotising enterocolitis - a serious infection of the intestine, with intestinal tissue death - a figure that increases to 30 times the risk after that time. Even more serious diseases are also linked with bottlefeeding. Compared with infants who are fully breastfed even for only three to four months, a baby drinking artificial milk is twice as likely to develop juvenile-onset insulin-dependent (type 1) diabetes. There is also a fi ve- to eightfold risk of developing lymphomas in children under 15 who were formulafed, or breastfed for less than six months. In later life, studies have shown that bottlefed babies have a greater tendency towards developing conditions such as childhood inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, dental malocclusion, coronary heart disease, diabetes, hyperactivity, autoimmune thyroid disease and coeliac disease.

Without disputing for a moment that breast is best, I will point out that some unstated portion of the "bottlefed babies are sick" is due to "sick babies are bottlefed." *In your opinion*. In other words, No, in YOUR other words. the conclusion is right but the numbers may be misleading. Well, now. And *organized medicine* is never misleading. HA! Now, what this has to do with alternative medicine or for that matter more than half of the newsgroups it was posted to is another matter entirely. See above, Mr ridiculer. |
