Verdict: REFUTED · 0 sources for, 2 against · Last checked
The claim asserts that commercial milk preparations are more nutritious than breast milk. Extensive nutritional and medical consensus, supported by papers such as [1] and [7], establishes human breast milk as the gold standard for infant nutrition, providing unique immunological, developmental, and biochemical benefits that commercial formulas can only attempt to mimic. No papers support the claim that formula is superior overall.
