Doctors have called for United Nations guidelines to be changed following landmark research that shows exclusive breastfeeding protects the babies of HIV-positive women from becoming infected with the virus that causes AIDS... Babies of mothers with HIV who receive a mixture of milk and solid foods are 11 times more likely to become infected than those who are exclusively breastfed. Those who are given formula milk as well as breast milk are nearly twice as likely to become HIV-positive.
(Fans of nominative determinism may find a gem near the bottom of the article.)
Also, my brother passed the med-school exams he's been studying for for the last three months. Yay him!
