Just a couple of small holes in their theory <g>

a)  most cloth diaper using folks I know used them forever.  Sheesh, I 
haven't had a kid in diapers in over 15 years and we're still using the 
cloth diapers for things.  Ah, disposibles sure don't make very good shop 
clothes <g>

b)  they left out the landfill problem in the equation.

c)  most of the folks I knew using cloth diapers *did* hang them out because 
the sun is the best sanitizer, deodorizer and bleacher there is!

d)  I've never used anything but cold water for washing, so, the water temp 
wasn't even in the equation for me.

However, that study was done in the UK, so who knows what they do.
