Breastfeeding
may be a cost-effective intervention aimed at reducing the long-term risk of
developing type 2 diabetes among women with gestational diabetes. Researchers
at the Helmholtz Zentrum Munchen in Germany studied the metabolism of women
with gestational diabetes after giving birth.
They
observed that the metabolites in women who had breastfed for more than three
months differed significantly from those who had shorter lactation periods.
Longer periods of lactation are linked to a change in the production of
phospholipids and to lower concentrations of branched chain amino acids in the
mothers’ blood plasma
