An important new study is getting big press this week. It determined that high levels of an ingredient in rocket fuel are present in American women's breast milk.

This is alarming and needs to be remedied. It's not a good thing.

However, what the press fails to make clear enough in the alarmist headlines ("Rocket Fuel Found in Breastmilk! Wean Now!) is that the study found that the SAME CHEMICAL was also found in cow's milk, the primary ingredient in most infant formula. (The levels were not as high, but the testing on cow's milk was limited.)

For the record, I'm anti-rocket-fuel-in-any-milk, but the infant formula industry is going to go to town capitalizing on the fear these headlines will create in pregnant and nursing women.
