Major Journal Warns Calling Breastfeeding "Natural"...

• https://www.lewrockwell.com, GreenMedInfo

As Martucci and Barnhill (2016) misguidedly suggest in their article[1] "Unintended Consequences of Invoking the "Natural" in Breastfeeding Promotion," calling breastfeeding "natural" poses countless risks for public health officials and those who wish to promote their "synthetic" or "factory-made" formulas or vaccines. They want to ban the word "natural," as calling breastfeeding the "natural" option will not "align with public health goals". They should be concerned. "Natural" breastfeeding benefits highly outweigh "factory-made" formula feeding and has been linked to lower infant mortality, particularly in Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
