I like to cruise the internet looking for the latest in news and research about breastfeeding. In my business and life keeping up on this information is vital. So when I came across this article on how fast-food can cancel out benefits of breastfeeding I was more than interested.
Many know that a child that is breastfeed has many benefits over one that is formula feed. One benefit is the reduction in the chances of he/she having asthma. But according to a study led by a University of Alberta professor if your child frequently eats fast-food he is canceling out all the wonderful benefits he received as a infant when he was breastfed.
The researchers suggested the prevalence of fast food in today’s society may explain why asthma rates keep rising even though more mothers are breastfeeding.
