I wonder how many mothers back then read that and thought:
“No I do NOT know. In fact my instincts tell me this is bullshit.”

Well, “mothers back then” drink alcohol and smoking while breastfeeding, so 7-up and milk is a high probability combination.

led my mind on a train of thought and I was curious how infant mortality has improved over the years so I found this graphic:

I’m most interested in the colorful squiggly lines that show a downward trend in infant mortality over the years, I’m not interested or care about the racial disparities, and I have no idea what that black jagged line going the opposite direction is.

Well, the black squiggly line in the opposite direction shows an increasing relative gap between races, which you don’t care about.
It shows that while infant mortality has gone down for all, and even though it’s significant, that black children are dying at an increasing proportion to their white peers. But you don’t care that it fundamentally shows that they’re getting the same access to the same improvements (either medical care, education of the mother on prenatal care, etc).

I think you misunderstand what they meant with “I don’t care about”. It sounds like they just meant that it’s not line why they’re quoting this graph, they got it for the stats on child-deaths-per-1k people.
