This document presents the results of a study comparing the plasma osmolarity and levels of various biochemical parameters in healthy breastfed infants versus non-breastfed infants. The study found significantly higher levels of urea, sodium, potassium, total proteins and calculated plasma osmolarity in infants fed cow's milk or formula compared to breastfed infants. These differences indicate that non-breastfed infants have a higher renal solute load from alternative milks compared to the optimized nutrient balance provided by human breastmilk.

A review on medicinal properties of Camel milkJing Zang
Many research findings proved that Camel milk is closer to human milk than any other milk. It is often easily digested by lactose-intolerant individuals. It is rich in healthy vitamins and minerals, especially B vitamins, vitamin C and iron. The lactoferrin in camel milk has antibacterial, antiviral and anti-tumor properties. It contains disease-fighting immunoglobulins which are small in size, allowing penetration of antigens and boosting the effectiveness of the immune system. It is a rich source of insulin and also it containing approximately 52 units of insulin in each liter of camel milk, making it a great treatment option for Type 1 or Type 2 diabetics as well as Gestational Diabetes. This review focused on the medicinal properties of camel milk which will be more useful to generate value added products formation from camel milk.

Camel milk has been known in Asia and Africa for 5000 years for its benefits for human health. Camel milk has been used medicinally for centuries by people. It is the closest to human mother’s milk and safe for children. Research studies around the world have confirmed that camel milk has better nutritional value as it exhibits many unique and amazing health-promoting properties as compared to cow milk. Camel milk has been used in some parts of the world to treat certain chronic diseases such as diabetes, allergies, cancer, arthritis, tuberculosis, autism, and hepatitis. Medicinal properties suggest that camel milk contains protective proteins that may have a possible role in enhancing immune defense mechanisms. Camel milk is a rich source of insulin, containing approximately 52 units of insulin in each liter of milk, making it a great treatment option for type 1 or type 2 diabetes as well as gestational diabetes. Camel milk is considered a complete food and can be consumed exclusively while meeting all nutritional requirements. Camel milk is most frequently consumed raw and unpasteurized because raw milk contains the most nutritional and immune properties. Many studies have reported that camel milk has very high concentrations of mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids, low fats, cholesterol, and lactose. It contains higher amounts of minerals (calcium, iron, magnesium, copper, zinc, and potassium) and vitamins B2 and C as compared to cow milk, and it contains no beta-lactoglobulin and beta-casein that are present in cow milk and that are the main cause of allergy in the certain human population. Furthermore, camel milk contains various protective proteins, mainly enzymes that exert antibacterial, antiviral, and immunological properties. It possesses unique, powerful immune system–boosting components that would exert potential health benefits. It is an alternative for people suffering from cow milk allergies. In view of its health benefits, there is fast-growing demand for raw camel milk around the world and it was introduced recently as a new functional food in the European market as well as Indian market and is available in pharmacies. Studies confirmed that the composition of camel milk is unique in terms of antioxidative factors, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and antitumor activity, and hypoglycemic effect. So camel milk can be considered as a next-generation superfood.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

INTRODUCTION
Breastfeeding is the most natural and safest way to feed an infant.
Breastfeeding provides a unique combination of proteins, lipids,
carbohydrates, and minerals in quite appropriate amount. Human milk
is a complex species-specific biological fluid for an infant with all
nutritional needs for growth, development and biochemical
equilibrium. The total protein content of human milk is the lowest
among all mammals due to relatively slow growth of baby in human
beings as compared to others. The concentration of minerals in
human milk is about 1/3rd lower than in cow’s milk. This fact together
with reduced protein content leads to a lower solute load, which is
adequate for the infants developing kidney. (Lawrence 1994)
3. Devies and Saunders (1973) described that the renal solute load of cow‟s milk is
considerably higher than that of breast milk. This is shown by high urea level in non-breast
fed infants. The blood urea level in breast fed infants was 22mg/dl and that of
non-breast infants was 47mg/dl calculated by „‟t‟‟ test for a sample of 61 infants.
The sodium level in cow‟s milk is 3.6 times more than in human milk. For cows milk it is
22meq/L and for human milk is 7meq/L. Hyper natermia is associated with cows milk
feeding. Experiments with newborn rats on high salt in takes have shown that
hypertension can develop. (Ruth 1989)

Lactose g 6.9 4.7 5.2
Minerals g 0.20 0.72 0.79
4. Human milk provides optimal nutrition to infants and the appropriate balance of
nutrients. The relatively low contents of minerals and protein in breast milk are
adequate and present comfortable load to immature infant kidney. Human milk has
relatively low sodium content allowing the fluid requirement of the infant to be met
while not over taxing the kidneys.
The osmolarity of human milk approximates to that of human serum and is 286m
osmol/L, where as that for cows milk is 350m osmol/L. (Dale 1975)
OPTIMAL NUTRITION
Lonnerdal and Chen (1990) reported that formula-fed infants
experience much higher plasma levels of most amino acids and
consistently elevated blood urea levels. This implies a decreased
efficiency of utilization of the protein in the formula. Different
formulas with similar nitrogen concentration may contain
dissimilar levels of true protein and non-protein nitrogen
depending on their method of preparation.
FORMULA FEEDING
5. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The aim of the present study is to highlight the importance of mother’s milk
and to discourage the usage of infant formula or cows/buffalos milk to an
infant.
The objectives are
1) To find out Serum Sodium, Potassium, Urea, Glucose, Total
Serum proteins, Albumin, Globulin and A/G ratio
(Albumin/Globulin) in breastfed and non-breastfed infants.
2) To determine plasma osmolarity and its comparison in breastfed
and non-breastfed infants.
In our society due to some social and cultural believes many mothers
deprive their infants from the benefits of breastfeeding. The infants are
fed by cow milk/buffalos milk purchased from the market. The infant
formula milk is very costly and it is not possible for an average family
to afford formula milk for an infant. The milk of cows and buffalos is
having three times more proteins and 3-4 times more minerals as
compared to the human milk. By feeding the milk of cow or
buffalo/infant formula the infant is being loaded with more proteins
and minerals, which can lead to high osmolarity, sodium, potassium,
urea and serum proteins. The effects of these may not be visible
immediately but may have consequences in later life.

CONCLUSION
The present study has clearly highlighted that “Mother‟s Milk is the best milk”. The serum levels of
BUN, urea, total proteins, albumin, sodium, potassium and plasma osmolarity are all significantly low
as compared to the infants on bottle feeding taking infant formula or fresh milk. The bottle feeding
either by fresh milk or by the cheaper partially modified formula predispose the infants developing
systems to high solute loads and osmolarity which may not have immediate consequences but may
have in later life like childhood obesity and raised blood pressure.
