In this episode, infant formula is touted as being virtually equivalent, nutritionally and in other ways (and superior in some), to breastfeeding. I had always thought the opposite was true, so I did a little research on the internet and discovered that every authoritative source I could find, including the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Mayo Clinic, disagrees with Adam and recommends breastfeeding over formula, except where breastfeeding is not an option. According to these sources, breastfeeding is "the recommended way" and "the gold standard" for infant nutrition because it provides natural antibodies that protect the baby, is easier to digest, and has several other benefits that formula just doesn't have. The only authoritative source for the show's claims was a woman named Courtney Jung who wrote a book on the subject called "Lactivism." According to the show, she's a professor of political science and a nutritional expert, but on amazon.com it just says that she is a political scientist; there's no indication that she has any expertise in nutrition at all. In any event, the AAP and the Mayo Clinic seem to me to be far more reliable sources of information on the subject than a political scientist. Although I like the show "Adam Ruins Everything" generally, on this subject he appears to have gotten over his skis.
