(Monday, 7th July 2003)
Link between BP and diet in babyhood?
Further evidence that nutrition in the early months of life may affect blood pressure (BP) measurements in adulthood has been published by researchers from the UK.
Richard Martin and his team, from the Universities of Bristol and Wales, followed-up participants in the Barry Caerphilly Growth Study, born in the years 1972 to 1974, who were currently in their twenties. As babies, half had been given extra supplements of dried formula milk (based on cows' milk), while the other half had breastfed or formula fed according to their mothers' preference. In the early 1970s, breastfeeding was not fashionable and large numbers of babies were formula fed. "

Mother sues Wal-Mart over infant formula
Eric Durr
The Business Review
A Clifton Park woman is suing Wal-Mart for $12 million, alleging that the pharmacy at the company's Half Moon store misfilled a doctor's prescription for special infant formula, defrauding the government and endangering the health of her children.
The lawsuit, filed June 16 in Supreme Court in Saratoga County, is seeking personal injury and punitive damages from the nation's largest retailer, said Charlene Fallon, a partner in the Albany, N.Y., and Glens Falls firm Linnan & Fallon LLP, which filed the suit.
Wal-Mart representatives had no immediate comment on the lawsuit.
According to the lawsuit, Lisa Coons, the mother of prematurely born twins Hunter Coons and Chloe Coons, was directed by her doctor to obtain a special infant formula for the children -- Infamil Premature Iron Fortified with LIPIL. She was given a voucher from the Women Infants and Children nutrition program (WIC) to pay for the formula."

Toronto -- What has Andr? Picard got against breast-feeding? It seems that I have never seen an article of his that mentions breast-feeding in a good light. Today's article (Girls Urged To Limit Dioxin-Laced Foods -- July 3), mentions at least three times how much dioxin is in breast milk, with the implication that breast milk is dangerous. He never even mentions the usual 'but breastfeeding is still best for babies and young children.' It is, Mr. Picard."
