SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Brice Belden-


QUESTION: You frequently adj
"a wise against substituting cows
milk for human milk In the feed.
ing Of infants and children. ! my
self was bottle baby and am
perfectly healthy and I know lots
OF others. If bottle feeding is so
bad, how do you explain this7
Answer: You are mistaken.
not frequently but always advise
mothers milk under normal con.
ditions.
1t is a commonplace statement
that cows milk is by no means
the ideal food for infants. There
are a great number Of reasons why
this is true. To begin with. even
a very coarse comparison between
the primary constituents OF the
two n1flks shows that cows milk
has three times as much curd or
cheese (protein) but only three
fifths as much sugar as human
milk. II cows milk is diluted to
reduce it's protein, its fat, which
originally was equal to that of
human milk, is diluted as we'll.
Another advantage of human
milk is that 1t In taken directly
and cows milk to be safe at all
has to be heated or pasteuriZed.
Heating causes profound change
in nearly all the constituents of
milk and reduces its nutritive
value. Human milk. being almost
free from bacteria, does not re-
quire sterilization and can convey
the substances which confer inn
munity to infection from mother
to child.
1t has been proved by Moro
that the blood of infants, nursed
at The breast, contains more and
stronger substances that kill
bacteria, than the blood or those
fed On cows milk. 1t is for
this reason that breasted babies
are less liable to such diseases
as mumps, measles. scarlet fever
and typhoid. Even though cows
milk may be bought pasteurized
it may become re-inocculated
with germs through handling.
The high content of killed bac-
terra in many pasteurized milks
Is recognized by Levine and
other authorities as a. danger to
health. The mechanical process
OF centrifugaliZing, or "sepa-
rating" cows milk to clear it of
its cream, destroys some of its
Intentional content in the same
wav that heating does. Some
casein (curd or proteinl is thrown
down. and with 1t some fat and
the calcium phosphate in the
original Caseinogen, which Is so
vital a factor In the formation
of bone.
Not only has human milk
more suitable proportion OF pro-
telns than cows milk. but the
human protein itself Ii better for
the child than is cow protein.
The protein OF the mothers mix
IL identical with the protein of
her blood. and consequently 1t In
not foreign body to the child.
The PROTEIN Of COWS milk Is n
foreign hodN. and II therefore
less easily digestihle, particularly
hy the liver, the function Of
which In to transform foreign
proteina into body proteins,
