A group of infants and mothers tested at The University of Texas at Arlington have given researchers another reason to extol the unique properties of breast milk. A team led by Purnendu “Sandy” Dasgupta, Jenkins Garrett Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at UT Arlington, has found evidence that breast-fed babies can metabolize the environmental contaminant perchlorate, decreasing their risks of detrimental developmental effects from exposure. The research suggests a link between this characteristic and bifidobacteria, bacteria that is plentiful in the digestive systems of breast-
