CHILDREN who are breastfed have a reduced risk of diabetes, a new study has found.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They had nearly a quarter less risk of diabetes and a fifth less risk of type 2 diabetes in adulthood.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The findings provide new evidence on the benefits of breastfeeding in protecting against diabetes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It involved looking at Canadian women and their children, including First Nations (FN) Canadians.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Professor Garry Shen at University of Manitoba said: "Breastfeeding initiation was associated with a reduced risk of subsequently developing diabetes among women and their offspring.</div>

Breastfeeding shock: Mother's milk could make children OBESE growing up

<div style="text-align: justify;">
MOTHER's milk can increase the chances of a child growing up obese - suggesting that breast is not always best, research has shown.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
Levels of a natural component found in breast milk plays a role in a child's weight, experts say.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
Previous studies found children fed on breast milk were less likely to have excessive body fat or be obese than those given formula.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
Now it is believed that the composition of a mother's milk is more important than predicting childhood obesity than the mother's weight and her weight gain in pregnancy.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
The study found that complex carbohydrates called human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), which are found in breast milk, can lead to fat gain.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
American researchers found that higher levels of HMOs were linked to fatter babies.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
But higher concentrations of another kind of HMOs were linked to less fat.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
While obese mums are at greater risk of having overweight kids, scientists were unsure about how fatness is transmitted.</div>

While genetics play a role in HMO composition, scientists do not yet know what contributes to a variation in the composition of breast milk.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
It is likely that a mother's diet may influence levels of HMOs, but this has not yet been studied.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
Dr Tanya Alderete, of the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California, said: "At six months of age, higher breast milk levels of LNFPII and DSLNT were each associated with approximately one pound of greater fat mass.</div>
