If it is in Nipple Cream, nursing infants DO consume it. Sooner or later, some infant will react.

Then the media will overreact. What else is new.

The article didn't point out that peanuts are not nuts.

This is not new MSNBC has a habit of re- headlining old articles and re- cycling them on slow news days.

They also mislead by posting articles with information derived by one or two studies and acting as if that is gospel. This is a good source for finding out what's happening but not for accurate reporting.
