Time Magazine August 15, 2005 edition has the article, "Secrets of a
2000-Year-Old Child" by Michael D. Lemonick on pp. 56-57. High resolution x-rays
were used to study the 2,000 year old mummy of an Egyptian child. A line in
the article caught my eye, and I thought I would share it with MY crowd...
"Most likely she succumbed to an infection or bad water or tainted food, as
did some 50% of ancient Egyptian children within a year or two of being
weaned." (p.57)
I love finding quotes like these because it demonstrates the importance
of breastfeeding throughout the ages. There are still millions of children
all over the world that suffer this same fate today.
