Health Care

You don't seem to have any grasp of what the trickle down economic theory was about But I won't bother to offer you any edification since you are already possessed of all possible worthwhile knowledge , as you so ably proved with your expert breast feeding advice.

Believe me. I fully understand trickle down economic theory.

Here we go with the sexism. Just because I am male I am not allowed to have a view on whether breast milk is better than formula? I mean, it shouldn't matter that I understand (and have personally researched) the biochemical benefits?

For the past decade there has been uncertainty whether infant nutritional formulas should be supplemented with the long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (AA). Docosahexaenoic acid, a predominant component of the phospholipids in the central nervous system (12-15%), is derived from the dietary precursor α-linolenic acid; whereas, arachidonic acid can be derived from linoleic acid. (Catalan et al., 2002) Although conventional formulas contain these precursors, whether pre-formed DHA and AA should be added to formulas has been the subject of intense debate in recent years. Evidence has shown that formula-fed human infants develop lower concentrations of AA and DHA than those fed breast milk, but the effects of this discrepancy on cognitive function are not entirely clear. A LC-PUFA deficiency during development may (or may not) lead to deficits in brain DHA/AA, and a resulting impairment of many cognitive functions such as learning ability, visual acuity, and visual recognition memory.

It's not like I've written anything about the subject, either.

Wha?! Edumafucation?! Wha that??!?

In my experience... people that brag about their intelligence, profession and salary are usually the ones that are full of it and are just trying to make their online persona more impressive.

No doubt.

Hmmmm.

I like the way "judge the sin not the sinner" comes in here... you're all judging the person over the post......

Now I haven't followed all of Herschels posts at ALL, but I didn't see a "ron paul" twist here, I just read the post.

You're all getting pretty personal.

Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but I see no educated post in opposition to H.R. 3343: Comprehensive Health Care Reform Act of 2007 and why it would be opposed in the first place on this thread.
Which in reality means maybe three things ... (1)people aren't educated, (2)ashamed to support the Health Care they do support in opposition to this Act, (3)they want the gov to steal.
