Summary
The purpose of this project is to study the effect of fermentable carbohydrates in the nutrition of healthy infants.
Detailed description
Breast-fed infants have a lower occurrence of episodes of sickness compared with formula-fed infants, and this has been ascribed to their different flora composition. The purpose of this project is to study the effect of fermentable carbohydrates in the nutrition of healthy infants. Additionally, other metabolic parameters will be investigated and compared to breast-fed infants.
