Vitamin C passed onto infants may protect against allergies

Yes, it is medical proved that Vitamin C is high in Antioxidants. According to my research, the fruits that have high Vitamin C includes:

Lime,
Limon,
Grape Fruits
Pamelo
Pamogranade
Cranberry
Carrot
etc.

You see, the mother body is actually taking up the filtration works, before it is passed to the baby.

Anyway, according to the "I-Medical Sutra" the Fruits are more on the "Yin" or "Cooling" effect of the body. To much of Fruits Juice may also cause the other effects to the baby in the long run.

There for the great health of the mother & bady & individual, drink of juices must not be too little or too much.




Vitamin C passed onto infants may protect against allergies
03/01/2005 - Mothers who eat plenty of foods rich in vitamin C during breastfeeding could reduce the chances of their children developing allergies, report Finnish researchers.

A higher concentration of vitamin C in breast milk was associated with a reduced risk of atopy in a group of 34 infants, they report in the January 2005 issue of the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition (59, pp123-128).

Vitamin E had no relationship with the condition, in contrast with previous research showing some benefit against allergies.

The researchers recruited mothers with atopic disease at the end of gestation and assessed their sensitization to allergy. Four-day food records and breast milk samples were collected when the infants were one month old.

Only dietary intake of vitamin C but not vitamin supplements was shown to influence the concentration of vitamin C in breast milk.

Higher levels of the vitamin, as well as the antioxidant beta-carotene and trace mineral selenium, were associated with a lower risk of asthma in a large study by Cornell researchers published earlier this year.

This was followed by a report from a team at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore showing that children with asthma tended to have lower blood levels of vitamin C than children with healthy lungs. Read More....
