Babies: Breastfeeding

New parents want to give their babies the very best. When it comes to
nutrition, the best first food for babies is breast milk. Experts
recommend that babies be breast-fed for six to 12 months. The only
acceptable alternative to breast milk is infant formula. Solid foods
can be introduced when the baby is 4 to 6 months old, but a baby should
drink breast milk or formula, not cow’s milk, for a full year. Cow’s
milk contains a different type of protein than breast milk. This is
good for calves, but human infants can have difficulty digesting it.
Bottle-fed infants tend to be fatter than breast-fed infants, but not
necessarily healthier.

Do Low Fat, Low Carb, Or Low Calorie Diets Work?

Do (Fill in the blank) diets work?

Strange title.

But I believe that you could insert any popular or fad diet into the above statement and be able to truthfully answer the question.

For the short term yes, for the long-term maybe, but probably not.

Think about it.

Do Low Fat diets work?

If they really did, we would be a nation of puny 98 pound weaklings. Everything is low fat, problem is when they remove the fat, something that most of us really like, they replace it with high carbs. Low fat coffee cake, come on. Beside that our body needs fat to operate, maybe not the fat we give it, but we do need fat.
