The safest course at present, therefore, is for pregnant women to abstain from drinking alcoholic beverages." YET they also claim: "The levels (of melamine) we are detecting are extremely low... (Parents) should not be changing the diet. If they've been feeding a particular product, they should continue to feed that product. That's in the best interest of the baby." They aren't sure how much alcohol is safe, so they take a zero-tolerance approach. They have no freakin clue how much melamine is safe, so they just claim that however much is in our formula already is probably okay. WTH?
