Milk fat in infant formulas - new findings

Publication at First Faculty of Medicine |

Abstract

Breast milk is the best nutrition choice for infants. Some infants, however, cannot be breastfed.

For those infants, we recommend formulas, that have a composition defined by the legislature. Still, infant formulas vary in several aspects.

New findings suggest that natural mammalian milk components such as beta-palmitate or milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) might play a positive role in cognitive development and health of infants.
