New York Times Newspaper Publishes Article about FFHI's Milk Bioactives Program
Nicholas Wade, Science writer for The New York Times, recently interviewed FFHI researchers David Mills and Bruce German and reported on the important findings of the Milk Bioactives Program.
UC Davis researchers Bruce German, Carlito Lebrilla and David Mills have found a particular strain of bacterium thrives on the indigestible component of breast milk and is found coating the lining of the infant's intestine, protecting it from noxious bacteria. ''Finding that it [indigestible components of breast milk] selectively stimulates the growth of specific bacteria, which are in turn protective of the infant, let us see the genius of the strategy -- mothers are recruiting another life-form to baby-sit their baby.''
