But hey at least you didn't feel the need to swear this time?
Norfolk here is some information - very very sad reading though.
Botswana case study: Why free infant formula is not enough?
In 1997, the Botswana government provided free infant formula for new mothers. Following the implementation, researchers soon found that government clinics often ran out of cans of formula, forcing parents and grandparents to buy cow?s milk and feed their children with diluted porridge or even flour and water.
In 2006, heavy rains caused public water supplies to become contaminated;
26 villages in northeastern Botswana had contaminated water pipes. The contamination led to more than 35,000 cases of diarrhea in three months.
At least 532 children?20 times the usual number of deaths from diarrhea?died during the outbreak. All of these infants had been formula fed.
Researchers found that infants who were not breast-fed were getting sick primarily from contaminated water. Among a group of infants at one hospital, those admitted for diarrhea were 50 times more likely to be taking formula or cow?s milk compared with those admitted for other illnesses. In addition, the researchers found that in one village, 30 percent of infants receiving formula had died; there were no deaths reported for the breastfed children in the same village.
