 "Which Probiotic Species Is Most Important to infant health?
Certain Bifidobacteria species are known to live in healthy infants, but what other species are important is not yet known. Changes in intestinal microflora may increase an infant's risk of developing allergic diseases. A decrease in the number of Bifidobacteria, or an increase in number of bad microbes, e.g., Clostridium, are examples of changes in the microflora that can increase an infants risk of developing allergic diseases."- Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.) |
| "In clinical trials with human subjects, researchers have observed benefits from long-chain omega-3 supplementation in the treatment of asthma, Alzheimer's, rheumatoid arthritis, depression, schizophrenia, infant health, pregnancy outcomes, kidney disease, menstrual problems, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease and cystic fibrosis(36-56)." - Anthony Colpo, The Great Cholesterol Con: Why Everything You've been Told About Cholesterol, Diet and Heart Disease is Wrong (Get the book.) "Forty-five percent of all women participating in the 1988 National Maternal and infant health Survey reported consuming alcohol during the three months prior to finding out they were pregnant, with five percent reporting consumption of six or more drinks per week. Sixty percent of alcohol- consuming women did not know they were pregnant until after the fourth week of pregnancy, and many did not know until after the sixth week(29). In other words, many women inadvertently expose the developing fetus to the harmful effects of alcohol without even realizing it." - Anthony Colpo, The Great Cholesterol Con: Why Everything You've been Told About Cholesterol, Diet and Heart Disease is Wrong (Get the book.) |
 "Without these items, formulas can be too dilute, too concentrated, or too contaminated to maintain infant health; they can kill the very infants they were meant to save. That is why formulas are a poor substitute for breast milk in low-income areas, why marketing them to low-income women borders on the unethical, and why the United Nations developed the International Code of Marketing of Breast-Milk Substitutes in 1981. Eventually, U.N."- Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.) |
 "The new EPA actually disagreed with the NAS recommendations for infants, declaring that there was plenty of tolerance in the 24 ppb recommendation to accommodate infant health. This is not what the NAS scientists said, and the NAS scientists were not even allowed to truly investigate the issues!
Numerous Freedom of Information Act suits have proven beyond any doubt that there was an unprecedented level of coercion coming from the White House and defense industry, which obliterated any scientific objectivity in the NAS panel."- Byron J. Richards, Fight for Your Health: Exposing the FDA's Betrayal of America (Get the book.) |
 "Of course, we've long understood the basic idea that good nutrition in an expectant mother is important for infant health. And we've also known that the connection goes beyond the obvious— sufficient nutrition, healthy birth weight, and so forth—to reduce the likelihood of certain diseases later in life. But until the Duke study, the "how" was very unclear. As Dr. Randy Jirtle, one of the leaders of the study, said:
We have long known that maternal nutrition profoundly impacts disease susceptibility in their offspring, but we never understood the cause-and-effect link."- Dr. Sharon Moalem, Survival of the Sickest: A Medical Maverick Discovers Why We Need Disease (Get the book.) |
 "Not only will nutritional imbalances and metabolic disturbances affect infant health, they can even influence gene expression "and may even be transmitted to the next generation."5
This concept was illustrated by a remarkable study, featured on the cover of a 2003 issue of Molecular and Cellular Biology. "Scientists showed they could change the coat color of baby mice simply by feeding their mothers four common nutritional supplements before and during pregnancy and lactation."- Jeffrey M. Smith, Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods (Get the book.) |
 "The primary challenge to Swan's work on that site is contained in a letter to Environmental Health Perspectives from the heads of the cosmetic-industry trade associations in the United States and Europe, and a report by the National Institutes of Health questioning whether her use of AGD as a marker for infant health was too new to the field of studying sexual development to be scientifically significant."- Mark Schapiro, Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What's at Stake for American Power (Get the book.) |
| "Low doses of caffeine (one to two beverages/day) or alcohol (one to two drinks/week) have not yet been associated with infant health problems.128'132 Although alcohol has been promoted as a relaxant, it has been shown to inhibit oxytocin release and reduce infant breast milk intake.133,134 Maternal cigarette smoking endangers infant health primarily through passive smoke exposure, although other concerns exist.135 Nicotine and cotinine are found in milk, and both volume and milk fat content have been reported to be reduced in early lactation in women who smoke cigarettes." - Reginald C.
