By Agence France-Presse, Updated: 11/05/2011 Babies who are breast-fed for several months develop fewer behavioural problems in early childhood than those who are bottle-fed, researchers have said. The British study which involved around 10,000 mothers and their babies found that breastfeeding for at least four months lowered the risk of behavioural problems in children aged five by one third. Researchers say the findings, published in the journal Archives of Disease in Childhood, add to a wealth of existing evidence on the benefits of breastfeeding. Children raised on bottled milk formula tended to show more signs of anxiety, hyperactivity or lying and stealing, researchers found. "Were not necessarily talking about tearaway, unmanageable five-year-old kids," said Maria Quigley from Oxford University, who led the research. "It might be unusual anxiousness, restlessness, inability to socialise with other children or play fully in groups." Scientists said the results could be explained either by the fatty acids in breast milk which aid brain development or the bonding between mother and child, which may affect learned behaviour. Researchers from the Universities of Oxford, Essex, York and University College London analysed data from a survey of 10,037 infants born in the UK between 2000 and 2001, who took part in the the wider Millennium Cohort Study. Mothers were asked to assess the behaviour of their children by the age of five, giving scores for different behaviours, such as clinginess and restlessness. Raw figures showed that only six percent of breast-fed children were given abnormal scores indicating behavioural problems, compared with 16 percent of formula-fed children. However, mothers who breast-fed tend to be older, better educated and from a higher socio-economic background than those who don't, the study said. Researchers therefore adjusted the figures to take those factors into account, concluding that there was a 30 percent greater risk of behavioural problems among formula-fed children. "Our results provide even more evidence for the benefits of breastfeeding," Quigley added. "Mothers who want to breastfeed should be given all the support they need." Janet Fyle, from the Royal College of Midwives, agreed that the study backed evidence that breastfeeding is best for babies but warned against victimising women who choose not to. "We need to be careful to keep a balance when interpreting the results, so that we do not send a negative message to mothers that they have failed or make them feel guilty because they bottle-fed their babies," she said.

Making use of vulnerable person to earn a living is a disgusting act! And he doesn't seems remorseful still!! https://www.asiaone.com/world/youtuber-sentenced-15-months-jail-after-feeding-beggar-oreos-stuffed-toothpaste A Chinese-born influencer in Spain was sentenced to 15 months in jail and ordered to pay €20,000 (S$30,600) for posting a YouTube video in which he offered a homeless man biscuits stuffed with toothpaste, a court said on Friday. Kanghua Ren, known as ReSet, was found guilty of an offence against moral integrity in his video published in January 2017 on his channel and since removed, the Barcelona court said. Ren was also ordered to pay the money in compensation to the victim, and his channels are to be closed down for five years. "Challenged" by one of his followers, Ren, who was 19 at the time, filmed himself removing cream from inside Oreo biscuits and replacing it with toothpaste. Then he gave them to a Romanian beggar along with a €20 bill. "Maybe I went a little far, but let's look at the positive side, it will help him clean his teeth, I don't think he has often brushed his teeth since he became poor," Ren told his followers, according to a court document. The homeless man threw up, wrote the judge in her verdict dated Wednesday. The video sparked an outcry, so Ren posted a new one in which he went back to see the man and gave him another €20 (US$22). "If I had done this with a normal person, no one would have said a thing, but as he is a beggar people are complaining," he said in a message accompanying the video, according to the court document. Police said Ren, who was among the 200 most influential Spanish-speaking personalities on YouTube at the time, then tried to stop the victim from making a complaint in exchange for €300 (US$335) and yet another video in which he would spend the night with him. Police added he targeted other vulnerable people in other videos on his channel, from which he earned money through advertising.
