Re: FEEDING YOGHURT
Asked by ZeenitHoney

Question:

My daughter will be turning 7 months in 8 days time and I would like to start feeding her yogurt. What kind of yogurt do I use and how do I prepare it?

My Advice:

Infants and children need optimal nutrition for optimal health if that is possible today, which I seriously doubt.
Any good quality yogurt containing in particular bifidobacterium and acidophilus, but not with fruit included. This we call
slime because the lactobacili will have depleted enormously, having devoured the fructose (fruit sugar). By the way it is a little known truth that fructose in excess leads to premature cellular aging more than most other foods.

For feeding children the best advice on Planet earth is at http://www.quantumknowledge.com.au/artic%20fallon%20ancient%20diet1.htm
and here is an extract:A wise supplement for all babies—whether breast fed or bottle fed—is an egg yolk per day, beginning at four months. Egg yolk supplies cholesterol needed for mental development as well as important sulphur-containing amino acids. Egg yolks from pasture-fed hens or hens raised on flax meal, fish meal or insects are also rich in the omega-3 long-chain fatty acids found in mother's milk but which may be lacking in cow's milk. These fatty acids are essential for the development of the brain. Parents who institute the practice of feeding egg yolk to baby will be rewarded with children who speak and take directions at an early age. The white, which contains difficult-to-digest proteins, should not be given before the age of one year. Small amounts of grated, raw organic liver may be added occasionally to the egg yolk after six months. This imitates the practice of African mothers who chew liver before giving it to their infants as their first food. Liver is rich in iron, the one mineral that tends to be low in mother's milk possibly because iron competes with zinc for absorption.

Now, the "low fat, no fat, no cholesterol" diet promulgated the last 3 decades or more by the U.S Department of Agriculture is absolutely guaranteed to kill, yes kill children as well as adults, slowly and often painfully. Infants and children must have good fats including saturated from grass fed beef, lamb, milk, chicken etc. Because this is the major source of Conjugated Linoleic Acid., proven to prevent and treat obesity, heart disease, metastasis in breast cancer  and enhance immune status.
