Got cancer killers?
Breast-feeding protects babies from cancer, but no one
knows quite how. So when biologists in Catharina
Svanborg’s lab saw mothers’ milk kill cancer cells, they
knew they were onto something big.

When Catharina Svanborg and her research associates began mixing mothers’
milk and cancer cells together seven years ago, she wasn’t looking for a
cure for cancer; she was after a way to fight germs. Nevertheless, the
physician and immunologist at Lund University in Sweden has discovered that
a previously taken-for-granted component of ordinary human breast milk
compels cancer cells–every type of cancer cell tested–to die. Now Svanborg
must prove her discovery, demonstrating to wary scientists that her
surprising find is for real. So far, it hasn’t been easy.

Prenatal Palates
By Kathy A. Svitil

Our hankerings for certain foods may have more to do with Mom’s cooking than
we ever knew. New research shows that babies’ dietary preferences are
influenced by what their mothers ate while nursing, or even before giving
birth.

Julie Mennella, a biopsychologist at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in
Philadelphia, gave a regular dietary supplement of carrot juice to one group
of women while they were pregnant and to another group while they were
breast-feeding. When tested, the babies from both groups preferred cereal
laced with carrot juice over cereal made with water. Babies not exposed to
carrots showed no such preference. Carrot juice has little effect on the
nutritional qualities of mother’s milk, but it does influence the odor and
flavor. The milk has a more intense taste, with a “carrot note to it,” says
Mennella.

This early establishment of flavor preferences may explain why people become
so rapidly accustomed to the foods of their own culture� be it spicy chili,
tangy borscht, or pungent fish. “Before the baby is born, these flavors are
transmitted through the amniotic fluid to the baby, and then again through
mother’s milk. Babies learn to accept the flavors of their culture before
they can even eat,” Mennella says.
