Breast Milk Each Day Keeps the Eyeglasses Away

Got your attention, didn't I?

Here's yet another reason to breast-feed your children:
Children who are breastfed are about fifty percent less likely to be short sighted, Singapore researchers said on Tuesday.

Docosahexaenoi acid or DHA, a substance found in breast milk, could be the main element which improves early visual development in babies, resulting in more ordered eyeball growth which then reduces the development or severity of myopia.

Unless you or your child has a physical problem that prevents breast-feeding, give back that free sample of formula that you just got on the maternity ward and whip out those breasts! You have no excuse.
