@Canadian_Eh the *Miracle of Pablum* was one of the major sanitation and nutritional achievements that contributed to infant survival.

Here’s the peer reviewed Canadian Encyclopedia entry.

The achievement stands on its own, but the physician researchers credited with pablum need some further discussion.

The encyclopedia entry includes some important context of controversies, including the less ethical actions by those identified as the inventors.

For Reconciliation, it’s important to acknowledge that Frederick Tinsdall later conducted controlled nutritional experiments on Indigenous children in the 1940s to compare the benefits of fortified foods by *further malnourishing children who were at near starvation.”

The good that pablum does and its contribution to public health remains.
