Infants given formula milk many tend to obesity at the age of five years. That's according to research teams from the MRC Childhood Nutrition Research Centre at University College London, UK.
Research shows excessive weight gain in infants may make them have health problems. Risk of experiencing disease include heart disease to diabetes.
The study found that babies given milk rich in protein, vitamins and other nutrients have more fat 22 percent to 38 percent compared to babies who do not consume milk formula. And, if passed this could take up to five to eight years old. This was compared with standard formula milk.
The researchers believe, fortified milk protein and other nutrients it contains more calories and lead to weight gain as an important growth phase. Previous research also shows 20 percent of obesity in adults probably caused by excess nutrients or an increase in excess body weight are at a baby.
"This study actually supports breastfeeding because there is excess nutrients will be difficult if the baby is given breast milk. The issue of how best to feed the child should be evaluated based on current evidence," said Professor Atul Singhal, head researcher, as quoted by the Daily Mail.
The researchers looked at two randomized, controlled, and double-blind study (the researcher and the mother does not know the type of milk given). The study involved a small newborn babies at local hospitals Cambridge, Nottingham, Leicester and Glasgow,
