Aw, poor allergy people - don't what-if. If it makes you feel any better I was formula fed, introduced to all solids early (including all the scary ones) and I am fine-diddly-ine. My friend was breastfed, introduced to solids later and is allergic to pretty much everything. If it was vice versa I know people would say 'must have been the solids' - but in the end it all came down to genetics.

With regards to dairy let's not forget Europe has used dairy for a loooong time without the problems we experience today as with other common modern allergens (we always seem to forget them and talk about the goat and soy countries)

FC - You need to work with my boss. He is the MD of a new chain of healthy fast food restaurants (GF, vegan options etc) but he had a phase where he was right into the evils of dairy and pasteurization like you. You sure you're not my boss in disguise as a woman
