[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If this were really an issue, I find it hard to believe that the major medical organizations were not out in front bringing attention to the issue. 
I'm also not sure a pharmacist or dietician is qualified to determine the cause of death of a very fragile, sick baby!

I also think the article probably sensationalized the issue. Does anyone really believe that the cause of death on those death certificates was malnutrition? No way.  I'm sure the deaths were attributed to "extreme prematurity". Sorry, but not falling for it.

What? You think someone is trying to trick you about sick babies? The article pretty clearly pointed out why the trace elements are so critical to diet, how the babies go into liver failure without it, and the rationing that is going on, I don't see where exactly you feel someone is trying to fool you into caring about this issue you think is a non-issue? Yes, they are extremely premature. It's a miracle that modern medicine can save them. Except.....when it doesn't because the basic dietary needs aren't being met.

Also, did you happen to read the part about the older babies, term infants, and even children who are very sick and suffering from the same thing?

Maybe you're just trying to provoke us by saying you "don't buy it?"

Fortunately the FDA is acting. [/quote]
