The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Epidemiology reports a study done by Australian researchers, into the effects of hypoallergenic whey based infant formula.

620 babies were divided into three groups. One group got the whey formula, another group got cow’s milk, and the third got soy milk.

Two years later the babies were checked.  Surprise!  More than half the 620 babies developed allergies regardless of what type of formula, or milk they drank.

Further more, when researchers looked at just the babies who drank the hypoallergenic whey formula, they discovered that the incident rate for developing allergies, was no different than for the cow’s milk or soy milk.
