background: human breast milk is the most important food for infants and one of the main roads to exposure to toxic substances. in this study, nonylphenol (np) levels in human milk samples collected from turkish mothers (n=100) were determined, and the factors including mothers’ demographics, eating habits, obstetric histories, and usage of cleaning and cosmetic products were examined. methods:...

BACKGROUND This study investigated the effect of fermented milk supplementation on glucose metabolism associated with muscle damage after acute exercise in humans. METHODS Eighteen healthy young men participated in each of the three trials of the study: rest, exercise with placebo, and exercise with fermented milk. In the exercise trials, subjects carried out resistance exercise consisting of...

In this article we analyse the time course of the consumption of fresh milk in different regions of Europe between the 1870s and 1930s. Working from the case of Catalonia, we affirm that the increasing consumption of milk in that period must be especially linked to the spreading of new scientific knowledge in microbiology and nutrition that followed Pasteur's discoveries. We particularly highli...

■ 42. Amend § 558.195 as follows: ■ a. In the table in paragraph (e)(1)(i), in the ‘‘Limitations’’ column, remove ‘‘Do not feed to laying chickens.’’ and in its place add ‘‘Do not feed to laying hens producing eggs for human consumption.’’; ■ b. In the table in paragraph (e)(2)(i), in the ‘‘Limitations’’ column, remove ‘‘Do not feed to cows producing milk for food.’’ and in its place add ‘‘Do n...

Recent studies have shown an inverse association between the level of dietary Ca, particularly from dairy sources, and body weight in adults; there is, however, a paucity of data regarding this relationship in children. We therefore investigated this issue in 1087 children who underwent body weight and height measurement during a survey on childhood obesity. Lifestyle and dietary habits were in...

Introduction: Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease caused by the members of the genus Brucella. This bacterium is transmitted to humans through exposure to infected animals or via consumption of contaminated dairy products. Cultivation of the bacteria or amplification of its DNA using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are conventional diagnostic approaches for definitive identification of Brucella i...

OBJECTIVE Early nutrition has been postulated as programming pubertal timing. Limited observational studies, mainly from Western settings, suggest puberty occurs later with breastfeeding and earlier with higher cow's milk (including infant formula) consumption. However, these observations may be socioeconomically confounded. This study examined whether breastfeeding or childhood milk consumptio...

BACKGROUND Some pregnant women may be advised or choose to restrict milk consumption and may not take appropriate supplements. We hypothesized that maternal milk restriction during pregnancy, which can reduce intakes of protein, calcium, riboflavin and vitamin D, might represent a health risk by lowering infant birth weight. METHODS We screened women between the ages of 19 and 45 years who we...

Cronobacter sakazakii neonatal infections are often epidemiologically linked to the consumption of contaminated powdered infant formula. We describe a case resulting from consumption of contaminated expressed breast milk, as confirmed by whole-genome sequencing. This case highlights potential risks associated with storage and acquisition of expressed breast milk.
