母乳喂养的新生儿发育较所有人工喂养的都好。特别是除少数疾病外,所有疾病发病率都低。最近研究发现胰岛素依赖型糖尿病(IDDM)的发病,与母乳还是人工喂养,以及授乳时间长短有密切关系。人们认为IDDM 是因病毒感染或感染后导致免疫异常而发病,如果母乳中母亲的抗体有抗该病毒的作用,那么当然可以预料这种结果。有的报告认为,食物既可成为糖尿病发病诱因,又能预防其发病。人们早就知道摄入热量过多、运动太少引起的肥胖也能导致糖尿病的发生。所以夸张地说,糖尿病饮食疗法应从出生时开始施行。 Breast-fed newborns develop better than all artificially fed ones. With the exception of a few diseases, the incidence of all diseases is low. Recent studies have found that the incidence of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is closely related to breastfeeding or artificial feeding, as well as the duration of lactation. It is thought that IDDM is caused by a virus infection or an immune abnormality resulting from an infection. If the mother’s antibody in breast milk is resistant to the virus, this result can of course be expected. Some reports think that food can become a predisposing factor for diabetes, but also to prevent its incidence. It has long been known that excessive intake of calories and too little exercise-induced obesity can lead to diabetes. So exaggerated to say, diabetes diet should be implemented from birth.
