U.S. Opposition to Breast-Feeding Resolution Stuns World Health Officials

U.S. Opposition to Breast-Feeding Resolution Stuns World Health Officials

A resolution to encourage breast-feeding was expected to be approved quickly and easily by the hundreds of government delegates who gathered this spring in Geneva for the United Nations-affiliated World Health Assembly.

Based on decades of research, the resolution says that mother’s milk is healthiest for children and countries should strive to limit the inaccurate or misleading marketing of breast milk substitutes.

Then the United States delegation, embracing the interests of infant formula manufacturers, upended the deliberations.

Yeah, what else do you expect from Corporate America where lobbies get to take the shots, not US citizens. - H

American officials sought to water down the resolution by removing language that called on governments to “protect, promote and support breast-feeding” and another passage that called on policymakers to restrict the promotion of food products that many experts say can have deleterious effects on young children.

We don't need the WHO to tell us what to eat.

"Scientists are loath to carry out double-blind studies that would provide one group with breast milk and another with breast milk substitutes. “This kind of ‘evidence-based’ research would be ethically and morally unacceptable,” Ms. Sterken said."

Looks like some people are afraid of facts?

Here's a fact for you... mothers have breast fed their children for generations over the thousands of years that mankind has been around - yet here we are.

Now, you have lobbies that don't want babies to have free milk (breastfed); they want mothers to buy their products no matter what.

So, you're backing the lobbies rather than mother nature.

Good luck on that one.

Cheers

Surprise, surprise, surprise ...

“What happened was tantamount to blackmail, with the U.S. holding the world hostage and trying to overturn nearly 40 years of consensus on the best way to protect infant and young child health,” she said.

In the end, the Americans’ efforts were mostly unsuccessful. It was the Russians who ultimately stepped in to introduce the measure — and the Americans did not threaten them.

Who'da thunk it? :biggrin:

Well since these deleterious products exist and are sold then apparently we could use some information to inform us on what we feed our children.

Why is information a problem?

Sometimes in life there are no brainers and the idea that because an organization is dedicated to World Health means they are disqualified because they are an "organization" is something that makes no sense in any direction.
