Introduction of cereal to babies' diets may lead to diabetes, says research
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Babies are currently being fed disease-causing foods that are loaded with unhealthy ingredients like milled grains, refined flour and of course high-fructose corn syrup. These foods promote food choice habits that later lead to diabetes and obesity.
CHICAGO - Introducing cereal too early or late in infancy may increase odds of diabetes in children already at risk for the disease, a study suggests. The preliminary findings are far from proof, and the researchers themselves said the results should not prompt any changes in babies' feeding habits. Both involved youngsters already at risk for juvenile diabetes because of genes or family members afflicted. Both also compared the timing of the introduction of solid foods in infancy with the development of antibodies that sometimes lead to juvenile diabetes. Doctors often recommend starting solid food - usually cereal - between the ages of 4 months and 6 months.
