Abstract
Human milk contains factors that protect suckling infants against enteropathogen-induced diarrhea. One nonspecific protective factor found in human milk is a small MW material that protects suckling mice from death to the heat-stable enterotoxin of E. coli. Cow''s milk and most formulas derived from cow''s milk also contain a factor(s) that can protect against heat-stable enterotoxin of E. coli in suckling mice.
