Feed the mother is the rule to deliver a healthy baby, that is why WIC was
started.  Again, feed the mother with the good oils and it cannot but help
make her breast milk more nutritious.  Everyone knows milk is dynamic.  My
friends daughter-in-law had a baby girl this summer and the totally
breastfed baby had eczema that did not go away with a change of detergent.
When asked second hand what to do, I suggested the mom take a combination
Omega 3/Omega 6 supplement. In a few days the baby's eczema was gone.
Several others have posted to the list that taking the fat emulsifier
lecithin got them over plugged milk ducts.  Obviously the right oils are
essential as they are called essential fatty acids.  Partially hydrogenated
fats should be consciously eliminated from our diet.

 

Several health websites view Mary Enig as an expert in oils and fats how the
body uses them.  I do not believe she is in the pocket of industry.  A book
by the late author Kime entitled Sunlight connected trans fat consumption
with high melanoma rates.  Traditional fats and oils were protectant, as was
butter and eggs and in diet, which was heresy 15 years ago when the book
came out.  A holistic physician told my husband that his hypo-thyroid gland
required essential fatty acids to function. 

 

The FDA website answers some questions regarding trans fats and the required
labeling that will go into effect in 2006.  This has greater ramifications
than just the heart disease they speak of; namely cancer.  Labeling will be
required even though the food industry may not like it.  Yes, too bad trans
fats are not being eliminated as in Denmark.
