Contamination of the Environment by Antibiotics Fed to Livestock
Approximately 9 and 13 million kilograms of antibiotics are used to raise live stocks in the US annually. These antibiotics are used for growth advancement and disease prevention purposes. Large amounts of antibiotics from these animals end up as manure, which is commonly applied to agricultural ...Breast Fed Children also Likely to Gain Weight on Adulthood
Breast feed provides a protective shield in early childhood. But new research show that the effect of this does not carry through to adolescence and adulthood. Child// fed on breastfeed can grow to be obese just as a child fed on bottle feed. The earlier study had pressed the government health...Breast Fed Children Have Better Eyesight
According to a study conducted by British researchers, breast fed babies have a better vision when compared to their bottle fed counterparts//. This once again goes on to prove the numerous benefits of breast feeding. This study was conducted by Institute of Child Health in London among 262 c...Breast Fed Infants Do Not Bed Wet In Childhood
Researchers from the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Brunswick, New Jersey have reported that breast fed infants are less likely to indulge in bed wetting //as children since they seem to have a developmental edge. "There is biological plausibility in inferring that breast-feeding p...New Born Breast Fed Babies Will Serve As Growth Yardstick
New born breast fed babies’ growth pattern will become the benchmark against which the growth of babies will be measured. This will indeed mark a sea change from the practice of almost 4 decades, //where babies have always been measured against a growth chart formulated on the growth pattern portra...Scientists Discover Origin of Malaria
