Criteria for labelling infant formulas as 'hypoallergenic'
		0%	Allergy to cow's milk may affect as many as 5% of infants,3 although the true prevalence is unknown. Once symptoms develop the treatment of choice still remains strict avoidance of the protein until the sensitization has diminished. Position Statement Canadian Paediatric Society (CPS)   Canada
Your comments			Hypoallergenic formulas are partially hydrolysed proteins and are still not without risk of causing allergic reactions as once Carnation's product Goodstart caused anaphylactic reaction after it's intake. From: Dr.Khalid Iqbal As the position statment clearly explains, hypoallergenic formulas are not without risk. Only amino-acid based formulas such as Neocate and Elecare should be used for treatment, if you truly want to avoid risk. In prevention, however, protein hydrolysate formulas, either partially or extensively hydrolyzed formulas, offer significant protection over whole-protein formulas. In choosing between partially and extensively hydrolyzed formulas, one should evaluate the price, availability and palatability among the formulas, before making a recommendation. A good reference to check is the Cochrane Review, 2003, on hypoallergenic formulas. From: Anon GoodStart is *not* a hypoallergenic formula. Hypoallergenic formulas are those where a formula has been tested in infants with hypersensitivity to cow's milk or cow's milkbased formula and the findings verified by properly conducted elimination-challenge tests. These tests should, at a minimum, ensure with 95% confidence that 90% of infants with documented cow's milk allergy will not react with defined symptoms to the formula under double-blind, placebo-controlled conditions.

			Crohn's disease and milk - Research
		100%	Scientists at St Georges hospital in London are claiming there is a link between Crohns disease - a debilitating digestive problem that affects more than 40,000 people in the UK - and drinking milk. Professor John Hermon-Taylor, a surgeon, and his team have reported finding minute traces of an organism known as myco-bacterium paratubercolosis in two thirds of the intestinal tissue removed from Crohns patients after surgery and although the National Dairy Council has disputed such claims on the basis of its own studies, the hospital researchers say they have also found the organism in supplies of whole, pasteurised milk. An interesting report. www.NoMilk.com - The No Milk Page   USA
