vaccine efficacy and breastfeeding citation

[Guest guest]

I found this earlier:

Antibody response to oral and parenteral vaccines is higher in the

breastfed infant. Formula-feeding, particularly soy formula, may

interfere with the immunization process. (Zoppie 1989; Hahn-Soric 1990)

(Breastfed infants showed better serum and secretory responses to oral

and parenteral vaccines than those formula-fed.)

Han-Zoric, M., " Antibody responses to parenteral and oral vaccines are

impaired by conventional and low protein formulas as compared to

breastfeeding. " Acta Paediatr Scand 1990; 79:1137-42

This does not mean that vaccines are more effective in the breastfed

baby--you can only say that if you can say that vaccines are effective

in the first place AND also can say that the antibody response found in

the study MEANS that vaccines are more effective. Big leap IMO.
