Article: Breast Milk Sugars Give Infants a Protective Coat

[Guest guest]

I find this article interesting for some of the implications about

connections between nutrition, gut health, and the immune system. I thought

some folks here might appreciate it.

Excerpt:

" A large part of human milk cannot be digested by babies and seems to

have a purpose quite different from infant nutrition — that of

influencing the composition of the bacteria in the infant's gut. "

For anyone who might have been wondering: I was essentially off line for 3

months due to all kinds of electronics drama.
