Article Synopsis
  • - The gut microbiota plays a significant role in human health, especially in infants, with differences noted between breastfed and formula-fed infants affecting their health outcomes long-term.
  • - A systematic review analyzed 13 studies and found that breastfed infants had more beneficial bacteria (like Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus), while formula-fed infants had more harmful bacteria (like Clostridium difficile).
  • - Breastfeeding supports a healthier and more diverse gut microbiome, suggesting the need for further research to enhance gut health in formula-fed infants and understand their long-term health effects.
