Weights and measures[edit]

UK-US measures are used per the sources, but the equivalents should also be given. i.e. for the UK 340 gram figure a lbs or ounces amount should follow in brackets, a gram figure should follow the US measurement in ounces. As it stands most people would need a calculator to compare the figures. --Brian McNeil / talk 14:26, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Study Flaw[edit]

I'm not sure if it is appropriate as no news source stated such, but the Denver Developmental Screening Test, which was used in the study to measure the cognitive development of the children, does not have predictive validity (e.g Borowitz K.C, Glascoe F.P. Sensitivity of the Denver Developmental Screening Test in speech and language screening. Pediatrics. 1986 Dec;78(6):1075-8.), i.e. this study's findings are based off of flawed instruments.
