Bummer, I tried to reply in the other thread, but it's probably better having a different thread for this since it's not related anyway. lol
Just out of curiosity, did the study say HOW breastmilk would raise a child's IQ? It's just that I find that a bit hard to swallow....because would that not essentially mean that babies/toddlers that are formula fed are going to have lower IQ's than BF babies? And what exactly would be in breastmilk that would contribute to braincell growth and regeneration since genetic studies have shown that a child's level of intelligence and mental capacity is established in the womb?
(this isn't a personal attack, I just really don't see how that study could solely prove that breastmilk causes higher IQ's in children? Especially since there would be SOOO many variables involved at that age!) There would have to be blind and double blind studies etc and the process of research would have to be over years!!
ETA: gosh, in light of a recent post that I wrote to you, this really does sound like a challenge. I honestly don't mean it that way, I'm really interested in understanding the ins and outs of the study you mentioned in the other thread!
