Are these fears warranted, or is formula feeding a safe and effective alternative to the natural method?

Circumventing nature isn't necessarily better.
Yes, we do circumvent nature in a myriad of ways. However, this does not mean that circumventing nature is automatically better or worse. When faced with a choice between nature and something different we should go with nature unless the alternative is demonstratively better.
Breast milk is widely accepted as being better than artificial formula. Therefore it is better to go for breast milk unless there are compelling reasons not to.
