Baby Forumula Shortage? Try Goats Milk!

Nutritional adequacy of goat milk infant formulas for term infants: a double-blind randomised controlled trial | British Journal of Nutrition | Cambridge Core

Excerpt:

This 2014 study showed comparable healthy infant development between those fed goat’s milk formulas and those fed cow’s milk formulas.

More studies on goat’s milk are needed to expand upon nutritional advantages of using it for infants. But a 2019 study suggest goat’s milk-based formulas may more closely mimic human breast milk when it comes to a handful of protective prebiotics called oligosaccharides, which help promote gut health and even immune development.

One thing to note: The nutritional content of goat’s milk-based formulas will differ by brand, so review your formula choice with your pediatrician before feeding it to your baby. Then, you can feel confident it meets standard nutritional and safety requirements. /truncated More: Nutritional adequacy of goat milk infant formulas for term infants: a double-blind randomised controlled trial | British Journal of Nutrition | Cambridge Core


Goat milk formula could benefit infant gut health

May 19, 2022 @ 7:00pm – Virtual Cultural History of Elves with Alexander Clemente !

Are they mysterious fey, evil spirits, kindly helpers, or something else? When considering the viewpoints of several cultures, elves come in many different shapes, sizes, and possess personality traits. From where did the concept of “the elf” originate, and does modern adaptations in fantasy lore compare with their origin? This lecture will help us to address these questions and come to a deeper appreciation of yet another fantasy race.  Presented by Alexander Clemente.

Composting for your Home Gardens

Composting for your home garden is highly beneficial.

Composting enriches soil, helps retain moisture and suppress plant diseases and pests.

It also reduces the need for chemical fertilizers. It produces humus, a rich nutrient-filled material that feeds your plants.

All of these items can be added to your composting pile. Keeping these items out of landfills also reduces your carbon footprint!

  • Fruits and vegetables
  • Eggshells
  • Coffee grounds and filters
  • Tea bags
  • Nut shells (NOT Walnut shells)*
  • Shredded newspaper
  • Cardboard
  • Paper
  • Yard trimmings
  • Grass clippings
  • Houseplants
  • Hay and straw
  • Leaves
  • Sawdust
  • Wood chips
  • Cotton and Wool Rags
  • Hair and fur
  • Fireplace ashes

Cover top of compost with a tarp to keep it moist. When the material at the bottom is dark and rich in color, your compost is ready to use. This usually takes anywhere between two months to two years.

*Don’t add Walnut shells, leaves or branches to your compost pile.

The Black Walnut, The Killer Tree

Scientists identified a compound called juglone that is produced by black walnut trees. After conducting a few tests, the scientists demonstrated that injury and sometimes death resulted when the chemical juglone came in contact with a susceptible plant. The symptoms that they noted were yellowing leaves, wilting and eventual death of certain plants.
