          Breast Milk Alternative Boosts IQ and Executive Function in Kids

          Researchers discovered a complex milk component that, when added to infant formula, can offer long-term cognitive benefits to children. The study found that formula supplemented with milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) and lactoferrin for a year raised children's IQ by 5 points at age 5 ½.

          Breast milk analyses show new opportunities for reducing risk of childhood obesity

          Maternal obesity is associated with differences in breast milk composition from that of mothers with a lower BMI. The variations of the metabolites may contribute to a higher risk of childhood obesity in children whose mothers are overweight. The findings point to a potential breast milk dependent mechanism for the mother-child transmission of obesity.

          Breast Milk Component Boosts Infant Brain Connectivity

          Researchers have discovered that myo-inositol, a small cyclic sugar molecule found in breast milk, plays a crucial role in promoting neuronal connections in infants' brains. Prior studies indicated the cognitive benefits of breast milk but were unclear about the specific components responsible.

          Certain drugs used to treat eye diseases excreted into human breast milk

          Ranibizumab and aflibercept, two drugs used to treat retinal diseases, are excreted in the breast milk of nursing mothers who take the medications. The drugs contain an agent called anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF), which blocks the development of a protein which stimulates the development of blood vessels. The protein, VEGF, is present in breast milk and plays a role in the development of the digestive system in infants.

          Compound in breast milk fights harmful bacteria

          Glycerol monolaurate (GML), a compound found in human breast milk, fights against the effects of harmful bacteria while allowing beneficial bacteria to thrive. GML also inhibits inflammation in epithelial cells, helping to prevent both bacterial and viral infections of the gut. GML is 200 times higher in human breast milk than cow milk. Researchers propose adding GML to infant formula and cow milk given to small children.
