Breast milk, formula and obesity?

[amjon]

The thing I sometimes hate about these forums is what starts out as an innocent question winds up a bashing thread for one thing or another!

That isn't the case for this one so far so there's no real need to bring up potential negativity.

Really, they put sweeteners in formula? On the one occasion I had to make up formula for LO I tried it and it tasted like metal....

Just checked a bunch at the store and all but one had corn syrup as the FIRST ingredient.
