What do you think about the new study that is saying formula is as good as breastmilk?

Here is an article. They looked at siblings over time where one was bottle fed and the other breast fed and analyzed them on several parameters like health and aptitude and so no significant difference.

The article mentions that former studies saying breast milk was much better than formula were biased because they didn’t account for socioeconomic factors, which is something I had always wondered.

I still like the idea of the real thing, but I do believe this study has significance.

Does the article change your mind if you strongly believe in breastfeeding and even went to the point of judging women who didn’t do it.
