Quick Summary: Human milk contains thousands of ‘bioactive’ components which influence a child’s health in the short and long-term. Many of these biologically active components are unique to human milk and many influence the baby’s developing immune system. Breast milk is incredibly complex, packed with thousands of distinct ‘bioactive’ components…

A new study on squash bugs can teach us all vital lessons about human birth and the optimal “seeding and feeding” of the infant gut microbiome. Quick Summary: During vaginal birth, human babies acquire beneficial gut microbes from contact with the Mum’s poop (a good thing). Whereas a new study…
