MONDAY, June 2 (HealthDay News) -- Breast milk's protection against respiratory infections is stronger in girls than in boys, says a U.S. study that challenges the long-held belief that immune system chemicals passed from mothers to newborns during breast-feeding offer babies equal protection from disease.

The Johns Hopkins Children's Center-led study of 119 premature babies in Buenos Aires, Argentina, found that breast-feeding offered more protection to girls than to boys and that formula-fed girls had the highest risk for severe respiratory infections.

We always think of baldness as a man thing and it's not. Many women also suffer hair loss for many reasons - it could be hereditary, a thyroid problem, vitamin deficiency or alopecia, amongst others.

Children also suffer from hair loss due to alopecia and a little known disorder called Loose Anagen Syndrome that usually targets young white girls between the ages of 2-5 who have platinum blonde hair. It is not considered to be genetic and can cause permanent full baldness or the syndrome can disappear within 5-10 years.
