"Prebiotics cut skin risks"

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/5109234.stm

"Lead researcher Professor Guido Moro said the risk of atopic dermatitis 
was reduced by over 50% in the prebiotic-fed infants. He said: "To our 
knowledge this is the first time that it has been shown that prebiotics 
can not only produce favourable changes in the gut flora, but that these 
changes can lead to a genuine clinical benefit. 

Previous research has suggested this mixture has a similar impact to 
breast milk on the bacteria living in the gut, boosting beneficial bugs, 
and inhibiting growth of bugs that can cause disease."

Isn't it interesting that they continue to try to equate artifical infant 
milk to be like breast milk? 

BTW, I noticed that there is now DHA is some of the yogurts on the market. 
My daughter had some concerns about feeding it to her one year old. Nice 
to see that she hears me when I rant!!
