...Nestles states that Infant Mortality Rates have improved in many countries over the last few decades at the same time that bottle feeding has increased. But to conclude from this that bottle feeding has caused, or even contributed to, this decline in infant mortality is statistical nonsense. Infant mortality rates in New York City declined markedly between 1940 and 1970, while addiction to heroin increased and while divorce rates rose dramatically. But no one would argue that infant deaths were reduced by heroin or divorce. Clearly, infant mortality rates have dropped because of a host of factors such as improved...
...Nestles says that morbidity data are lacking, and imply that there is not good evidence of an increased disease incidence in bottle fed infants. That' is patently untrue. There are dozens of studies which show a much higher disease incidence in bottle fed than in breast fed infants. No scientist or immunologist can deny the fact that human colostrum and breast milk contain substances which confer immunity on the infant and protect him from infections, and that infant formulas do not contain these substances. A study published last year in the prestigious Journal of Pediatrics showed a significantly lower rate...

...English this is, gives an appropriate quality of ponderous slap stick to the first half of the movie. There is a lot of blubbery smooching between Hermann's wife and her lascivious cousin, a bulky red-bearded artist (Volker Spengler). Hermann ignores this, but giggles apprehensively about the infant Nazi Party: "The National Socialists are against the Socialists and also against the Nationalists." In an odd scene witnessed by the distracted chocolate manufacturer, Brownshirts throw bricks at the shopwindow of a Jewish butcher, but the bricks do not seem to shatter the glass...
