Dietitian Connection Podcast

Oligosaccharides = nature's first prebiotics

01 Apr 2022

Description

Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are the third most abundant component of human breast milk, and scientific research is slowly recognising their importance in infant health and development. Tune in to this fascinating chat with Professor Lars Bode to learn about the potential health benefits of HMOs and how and why their composition varies between women across the globe. Professor Bode also dives into the possible applications of synthetic versions of HMOs for pre-term infants and touches on future research priorities in non-maternal populations, including those with rheumatoid arthritis and cardiovascular disease.   For the shownotes: https://dietitianconnection.com/category/podcasts/ This podcast is not, and is not intended to be, medical advice, which should be tailored to your individual circumstances. This podcast is for your information only, and we advise that you exercise your own judgment before deciding to use the information provided. Professional medical advice should be obtained before taking action. Please see here for terms and conditions: https://dietitianconnection.com/terms/ This podcast includes discussion of infant formula ingredients. Breastfeeding is best, and provides the ideal nutrition for babies. Good maternal nutrition is important for preparation and maintenance of breastfeeding. Professional guidance can be sought on diet and the preparation for and maintenance of breastfeeding. A decision not to breastfeed, or to introduce partial bottle feeding, could reduce the supply of breast milk. Once reduced, it is difficult to re-establish. Infant formula should be prepared and used as directed. Unnecessary or improper use may present a health hazard. Social and financial implications, including the cost of providing formula until 12 months of age, should be considered when choosing how to feed infants.
