"GML is much more selective, fighting only the pathogenic bacteria while allowing beneficial species to thrive. We think GML holds great promise as a potential additive to cow's milk and infant formula that could promote the health of babies around the world," Schlievert said in the release. The study also found that GML inhibits inflammation in epithelial cells, which line the gut and other mucosal surfaces. Inflammation can damage epithelial cells and contribute to increased risk for bacterial and viral infections.The researchers have applied for a patent for the use of GML as an additive to cow's milk and infant formula.Copyright © 2013-2018 HealthDay.
