In addition, the incidence is increased with early and large quantities of antibiotics, as noted in comparative studies. The use of antibiotics in the animal produce industry has also risen greatly, and the relation of bowel disorders with the ingesting animal products as in meat, dairy and eggs cannot be discounted in the growing avalanche of auto immune and other degenerative diseases. Both have been discounted by study of various cohorts since the introduction of live measles vaccines versus non-immunized. No proof to satisfy the researchers allowed them to conclude the incidence of Crohn's to be greater. However, the debate on the detrimental effects of immunization continues and proof of retrospective studies fails to win orthodox support.
Breast feeding activates the child's immune system.
The proponents of breast feeding indicate the child so fed is better equipped to fight infections, suffer less with allergies and asthma.
