They're all dead by like 40, though.
That's true.
And resulting health issues were particularly prevalent amongst poorer communities, as they usually are, because condensed milk was much cheaper than baby formulas.
One Swiss journalist even wrote, Among the innumerable industries that have emerged worldwide, there is one whose entire activity is marked by the following words, Serve the child.
Therefore, wherever the food situation of the child becomes worrying, Nestle stands with its products alongside the Red Cross in its magnificent crusade for destitute childhood.
Nestlé was, at this point, one of the biggest companies in the infant food industry in Europe.
But it had its eyes set on broader horizons, namely the developing world.
Williams had investigated the mortality of bottle-fed infants in Malaya and found that early deaths were far more common in artificially fed babies than in those who were breastfed.
As early as 1939, Dr. Williams gave numerous talks that the misguided propaganda on infant feeding was to blame for high rates of infant mortality.
However, sadly, Dr. Williams' critical view of bottle feeding didn't spread beyond a small ground of experts.

Quashioco was rampant in Africa and in Latin America in the 50s, and Nestle saw this as an opportunity.
Soon enough, Nestlé's medical delegates flocked to Africa to promote their products to colonial doctors as a treatment for malnutrition.
And just like they had done in Switzerland, Nestlé funded and ran its own clinical trials in Africa.
Or at least, that's what they claimed.
These marvellous results were then shared with the colonial medical community at inter-African nutrition conferences.
They were also, of course, printed in medical journals and brochures.
As a result, by the 1960s, Nestlé saw a huge surge in sales of their products in the African continent.
Then, in March 1974, the British non-profit War on Want published a damning pamphlet entitled The Baby Killer.
It is nice when something isn't our fault for once.
