Greetings All,
In this new open access study, researchers examined glycerol monolaurate (GML) in whole pasteurized human milk versus bovine milk and commercial infant formula for antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities on Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Clostridium perfringens, and Escherichia coli.
Human milk samples contained approximately 3000µg/ml of GML, in contrast to 150μg/ml in bovine milk and no GML in infant formula. Researchers found that GML fights infections by the above-mentioned harmful bacteria while allowing beneficial bacteria to thrive.
