The human rumen

A A Jackson, M H Golden

    Lancet (London, England)
    |October 7, 1978

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Cow milk promotes bacterial growth, unlike human milk, potentially causing digestive issues in infants. This difference in milk composition may explain certain infant feeding problems and allergies.

    Area of Science:

    • Comparative biology
    • Human and animal physiology
    • Nutritional science

    Background:

    • Cow milk composition differs significantly from human milk.
    • These differences are linked to distinct evolutionary functions related to infant digestion and microbial environments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the functional implications of compositional differences between cow and human milk.
    • To explore how these differences impact infant gut health and digestion.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative analysis of cow milk and human milk constituents.
    • Review of physiological adaptations in infants fed different milk types.

    Main Results:

    • Cow milk's constituents promote bacterial growth in the small intestine, whereas human milk inhibits it.

  • Infants fed a calf's diet may develop a rumen, leading to digestive issues.

    • Conclusions:

    • The distinct evolutionary adaptations of cow and human milk explain differences in infant gut microbial dynamics.
    • Dietary-induced rumen development in infants consuming cow milk may contribute to chronic diarrhea, malnutrition, and symptoms mimicking cow's milk protein allergy or lactose intolerance.
