I have been told long ago to take care of the last sentence in a paper, avoiding any unjustified conclusion or any unwarranted speculation. Let’s start with a fully justified last sentence in the new volume of \u00a0“International Nutrition: Achieving Millennium Goals and Beyond<\/a>”<\/p>\n

It says that<\/p>\n

The role of vitamin D deficiency or excess as a risk factor for food allergy and atopic disorders requires further study.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nestec who organized the 78th Nestl\u00e9 Nutrition Institute Workshop, Muscat, March 2013 is a subsidiary to Nestl\u00e9 S.A. according to Businessweek<\/a>. On\u00a0Oct 10th, 2006 and again July 13th, 2009\u00a0I alerted the scientific department of Nestl\u00e9 \u00a0that their baby formula may contain an allergenic substance.\u00a0That last sentence now indicates 7.5 years later<\/span>, that they slowly get the idea.<\/span><\/p>\n

There might be reasons, why they didn’t respond earlier. Here is a German press release just 2 days ago<\/a>.\u00a0It reads in my own translation:<\/p>\n

Nestl\u00e9 in Biessenhofen is further growing: \u00a0Nestl\u00e9 Germany\u00a0is\u00a0responding to increasing demands with a new product line of hypoallergenic baby formula. “With BEBA alone we have been growing by 23%. It is therefore rational, to invest another 20 million Euro in our production by setting a new milestone” says Gerhard Berssenbr\u00fcgge, CEO of Nestl\u00e9 Germany AG during the opening event. Already in 2011 a new factory costing more than 100 millio Euro has been opened. “The new product line combines aseptic filling with modern sterilisation and guarantees highest taste and storability. Also vitamins in the baby milk are retained at highest quality” explains plant managerTim Keller.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

My last sentence is just quoting Immanuel Kant: \u00a0Sapere aude \u00a0\/ Dare to know whenever you are reading press releases.<\/span><\/p>\n

The only thing I could add is a minor post scriptum.\u00a0The last sentence of the press release is wrong of course as \u00a0cow milk extract<\/a>s contain only trace amounts of vitamin D. Nearly all vitamin D is being supplemented not retained. I could even add another minor post scriptum: According to conventional scientific knowledge there is no effective hypoallergenic infant formula<\/a>\u00a0that could prevent allergy. Every pediatric association in the world would immediately recommend this formula. Allergen avoidance is a concept of the late 80ies; immunotherapy of existing allergy (“allergy shots<\/a>“) works by controlled, gradually increasing doses of allergen.<\/p>\n\n
