Summary
Depending on recent studies in literature the investigators aimed to compare whether gastrointestinal tolerance differs between infants fed with palm olein containing or palm olein free formulas. Besides it is showed that palm olein containing formulas decreases the absorption of fat and calcium by forming insoluble calcium soaps. So it is suggested that intestinal flora might be affected as a reason of these specialties. This study also aimed to investigate with culture-independent methods whether feeding infants with palm olein free formula results in the modification of their intestinal microbiota in such a way that is similar to breastfed ones.
