and that makes me wonder how our grand-parents & parents survive without all this info?

All those all the advertisement in TV, products, mags has showed that many products contain DHA these days are HARMFUL. Those who are not educated may think it is the OK substitute for mother's milk. The ignorant may not know the actual health benefits of breast milk.

Breastfeeding continues to offer health benefits into and after toddlerhood. These benefits include; lowered risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), increased intelligence[citation needed], decreased likelihood of contracting middle ear infections, cold, and flu bugs, decreased risk of some cancers such as childhood leukemia, lower risk of childhood onset diabetes, decreased risk of asthma and eczema, decreased dental problems, decreased risk of obesity later in life, and decreased risk of developing psychological disorders.

Breastfeeding also provides health benefits for the mother. It assists the uterus in returning to its pre-pregnancy size and reduces post-partum bleeding, as well as assisting the mother in returning to her pre-pregnancy weight. Breastfeeding also reduces the risk of breast cancer later in life.

Dun put your baby and your own health into the hands of the Salesman!

BTW The human brain does NOT stop cell reproduction when we reach 5 yrs old.
