I've seen some comments recently suggesting that freezing and pasteurization of breastmilk removes all of the "good stuff" that makes it superior to formula.
So I thought I'd share this table, adapted from a study called "Donor Milk: What's in it, and what's not" to show that frozen and pasteurized milk retains a number of important components, in whole or in part, that are not available in formula at all.
And of course this table lists only components which have been studied. Breastmilk contains hundreds of different costituents, including more immune factors, vitamins and minerals, growth factors, and other important components.
Sorry that the table is hard to read - you may have an easier time if you click on it and open it in a new window.
