in the early nineteenth century as scientists began to identify the basic building blocks
in food - proteins, fats, and
carbohydrates - as central to
human nutrition, as well as to determine the chemical components of
human and animal
milks.
Lastly,
in this podcast, Dr. Erica Sonnenburg talks about how C - sections, have a negative effect on the infant's gut due to the lack of exposure to bacteria present
in the mother's vaginal canal, and how the use of formula deprives the infant not only from the good bacteria present
in Mom's gut but also from special
carbohydrates in breast
milk that are good for the infant gut flora known as HMOs or
human milk oligosaccharides.
