Breastfeeding Is Not As Beneficial As Once Thought

Still think they have any idea what they are talking about?

"Feeling guilty that you didn't breastfeed your children enough or at all? Relax. New research shows that breast milk is not as important for either the mother or the child's health.

Researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology have found that the association between breastfeeding and healthy children is not as strong as has previously been believed. It is true that breastfed infants are slightly healthier than bottle-fed babies. But apparently it is not the milk that makes the difference. Instead, the baby's overall health is all determined before he or she is born. So why do so many studies associate breastfeeding with better health for young babies. The answer is simple: If a mother is able to breastfeed, and does so, this ability is essentially proof that the baby has already had an optimal life inside the womb."

The same people who cannot cure toenail fungus and want to mess with your genetics haven't even figured out breastfeeding and that has been around ever since mammals came into being.

Trust them at your own risk.
