California State Sen. Deborah Ortiz, D-Sacramento, is pushing legislation intended to scare Californians about their own bodies. Doing the bidding of environmental extremists, apparently, is more important to Sen. Ortiz than the health and welfare of her constituents. In March, Sen. Ortiz introduced California Sen. Bill 1168, requiring the monitoring of chemicals in the bodies and breast milk of Californians.

AFTER years of debate Melbourne researchers have come closer to proving breastfeeding reduces a baby's chances of dying from SIDS.

Active sleep is a deep sleep when dreaming occurs and usually kicks in towards the morning, which is when babies normally succumb to SIDS."

Speaking from the United States ahead of a visit to Australia to speak to breastfeeding advocates, Prof Morton said her position should exist at all big universities and hospitals...."
