High milk consumption might shorten life span through increased oxidative stress. We aimed to determine whether higher mortality rates with high milk consumption are modified by fruit and vegetable intake or total antioxidant intake (oxygen radical absorbance capacity). We used information from food frequency questionnaires completed by 61,420 women in a Swedish cohort (22,391 deaths from the 1...

AIMS   Human milk is the primary source of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) for most infants, an important fatty acid for neurological development. Milk DHA is largely incorporated from the maternal diet. Little is known about whether milk DHA varies within populations with differences in maternal fish consumption. Here, we investigate this association in a sample of marginally nourished Filipino wom...

Milk As regards milk, I have made some calculations from Tables 3 and 4 of the paper of Dr Magee and his collaborators (Bransby, Magee, Bowley & Stanton, 1947). What in effect is asked for, in that paper, is the provision, in 1946, for liquid consumption of almost 1700 x 1o6 gal. of milk, or 0.774 pt./head/day on the average, and, in 1964, of some 1720 x 1o6 gal. or about 0.75 pt./head/day. In ...

Background: The prevalence of allergic diseases is increasing worldwide. The effective role of omega-3 fatty acids in the maturation of immune system and protection against atopic diseases has been well discussed. However, previous studies revealed conflicting results. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of fish oil consumption by nursing atopic mothers on the level of interferon...
