Zusammenfassung:Over the past millennia, medical writings noted that infants who were not breastfed were at higher risk of disease and mortality. A report entitled "What's normal? Oligosaccharide concentrations and profiles in milk produced by healthy women vary geographically" by McGuire et al explores variations in HMOs (their preferred abbreviation for hMOSs) from 410 women from 6 sites in Africa, 4 of which were urban and rural populations of the same country, 2 in Europe, 2 in North America, and 1 in South America. The study found even larger variations in the concentrations of hMOSs from among their sites than had been reported previously in other cohorts, and the relative amounts of individual oligosaccharides also differed from these earlier reports.
