Nourishing Traditions Book Review - Breast Milk

Just finished a book review on Nourishing Traditions (see below): one fun fact: Breast milk - Provides a higher proportion of cholesterol than almost any other food. Contains over 50% of its calories as fat, mostly saturated fats! The quality of breast milk does depend on the mother's diet and this is such great motivation for the mother to eat well. Moreover, consumption of hydrogenated oils decreases fat content in breast milk. Increased consumption of trans fats accumulate in breast milk which can lead to decreased visual acuity and learning difficulties in the infant. The benefits of breastfeeding are well established in the literature. Are we ever supposed to eat differently? Nourishing Traditions http://www.amazon.com/Nourishing-Traditions-Challenges-Politically-Dictocrats/dp/0967089735
has a recipe for 'breast milk' for those who just can't breastfeed. I'd like to compare these ingredients to any name brand pre-made formulas.
