Human breastmilk is widely accepted to be the optimal source for nutrition for the newborn infant, containing all the proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, micronutrients and trace elements required for growth, development and immune protection. In addition human breastmilk plays a significant role in the prevention of medical conditions such as childhood cancers, obesity and gastrointestinal diseases. The importance of breastmilk and its superiority as a source of infant nutrition is highlighted in the recent overhaul of teh World Health Organization growth charts that are now based on exclusively breastfed infants. Human breastmilk also contains a population of cells, the importance of which is often not considered when the bioactivity of breastmilk is discussed.
人乳被广泛认为是新生儿最佳的营养来源,包含生长、发育和免疫保护所需的所有蛋白质、脂质、碳水化合物、微量营养素和微量元素。此外,人乳在预防儿童癌症、肥胖症和胃肠道疾病等病症方面发挥着重要作用。最近世界卫生组织生长图表的全面修订突出了母乳的重要性及其作为婴儿营养来源的优越性,这些图表现在仅基于纯母乳喂养的婴儿。人乳还含有一群细胞,在讨论母乳的生物活性时,其重要性常常未被考虑。
