"These findings could have implications for formula, which could be tweaked to optimize development for both boys and girls."

As the father of a little girl, I find this sentence more ominous than was probably intended. The formula aisle is already overly complex with Regular, Iron Enriched, Omega Enriched, Soy, Low-Lactose, and No Lactose, among the many yogurt sounding ones (pre/macro/post/whatever-biotic).

However, I am worried (perhaps due to cynicism) that instead of rationally simplifying this system, it might be dumbed down to Boy and Girl formula. Though I guess there may be benefits as well. sigh - glad I'll probably be done having kids by then :D

Keep away from the formula aisle if at all possible!
