Mother's Milk, a natural antibiotic like no other

An antibiotic substance ( monolaments lycerin, GML) has been identified in breast milk able to protect the child from certain bacteria and capable of promoting the growth of good microorganisms in the intestine. The discovery was made by four researchers led by Donald Leung by National Health Health of Denver (Colorado) and published in Scientific Reports.

A Unique Action

Experts have shown that the monolaments lycerine present in very high quantities in breast milk, in small quantities in cow's milk and absent from that of the formula - is able to kill bacteria such as Staphiloccus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Clostridium perfringens, compared to that of the cow and milk formula.

Antibiotic “

Researchers have shown that GML also has anti-inflammatory characteristics and that, unlike normal antibiotics, it would be <x0-intelligent” because, while effective against bad bacteria, it is in perfect condition to distinguish good ones and indeed, to promote their growth. It is no coincidence, the scholar explains, that there are more lactobatics and bifidobakters in the intestines of infants who feed on milk formula.

Substance “magical”

The discovery adds the already important and well - known characteristics of breast milk to a new quality in favor of this particular food, which is most appropriate for a healthy psycho-phisic development of newborns: it contains all nutrients, both quality and quantity, which young people need in the first phase of life (just think callostra, namely, pre-life milk, is characterized by a high protein and mineral content, and by a large amount of active substances of the ability to reduce the risk of disease). Not only that, breast milk, unlike cow formula and milk, is a “live food” capable of changing its composition, as well as during various stages of breast - feeding (the first days of life, the stage of milk in transition, the ripe stage of milk), and the entire day (the body of lipids is higher during the night), when the child is breast - feeding only (the highest at the end of the food), and even if the child is ill (from the object of fighting.)

Know it.

Currently, a patent requirement has been made for monolaments for its use as an addition to cow milk and baby formula for giving these two other kinds of milk the same characteristics of antibiotic power.
