Benefits Of Exercise Could Be Passed Through Breast Milk, Says New Study
Researchers at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center worked with academics from the University of California, San Diego, Arkansas Children's Nutrition Center and the Joslin Diabetes Center to highlight how moderate exercise in mothers could benefit children in the long run through breast milk. They found that maternal exercise causes adaptations in breast milk which included an increase in oligosaccharide 3'Sialyllactose (3'SL.)
It sounds complex but 3'SL is responsible for the development of key immunoprotective effects in newborns. It aids the development of the immune system and gut microbiota and suppresses adhesion and infectivity of bacteria and viruses, such as influenza viruses.
[...] "What we have shown in mice is that the offspring, as they age, do not become as obese and are less likely to develop type two diabetes, and female offspring are protected from heart failure as they age. More studies need to be done to determine how this will affect human infants," says Stanford, "I think this study highlights the importance of maternal exercise. Even moderately increasing your activity during pregnancy could have pretty dramatic effects on your child's health."

> Maybe you'll want to talk to some animal husbandry people, whether they work with poultry, horses, cattle, sheep, or whatever.
Why would I want to consult with some hick to, at most, hear a less general and dumbed-down version of evolutionary theory? Your shtick is old.

And yet, those hicks have provided mankind with just about every breed of animal we desire, and every cultivar of edible plants and fungus you've ever heard of.
I'm reminded of the "intellectual rights" sons of bitches, who went into Iraq as the Iraq war was winding down. Various cultivars that the Iraqis had been growing for literally thousands of years were suddenly the "property" of an international conglomerate, that now belongs to Bayer.
Your college fools have developed a few breeds and cultivars in the past couple hundred years. They have a long way to go, to compete with all the hicks who came before them.

The personalities and inclinations of the humans that started the agarian revolution over ten thousand years ago are not likely similar to those still in agriculture and animal husbandry today. Pretty much in every field, once the initial pioneering and leg work is done, those left to fill out the ranks years later are typically not anywhere near close to the same caliber as the original innovators.

Farming doesn't care about your personality, there's work to be done. Generations of breeding and selection are the reason aren't the product of one "pioneer". Almost nothing in human history is the product of those people we now remember as being great. Regular people, putting in the work required, built everything that humanity has. The leeches that we remember as geniuses were those who lived off the sweat of other men's brows.

Wow. So, in your opinion, all of modern agriculture is the result of just a very small handful of supergeniuses who lived around 8000 years ago?
Are you sure you don't want to go with the aliens from Andromeda, who came in and taught the ignorant monkey-people how to farm? Let's revisit 2001: A space oddity!

2/10 nice strawman. Try a little harder next time.
