Allergy Facts
Although breast-feeding is known to reduce an infant's risks of developing allergies, a new study reports some other immune benefits. Scientists demonstrated that the forms of vitamin A found in breast milk actually slow the spread of the herpes virus to a crawl. This means the immune system has fewer virus particles to fight -- a clear benefit for babies which do not have fully-developed immune systems until later in life.
