This has been confirmed by a study carried out by the research groups &#8220;Autoimmunity, Immunonutrition and Tolerance&#8221; and &#8220;Polyphenol Research&#8221; of the Faculty of Pharmacy and Food Sciences of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ub.edu\/web\/portal\/ca\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">University of Barcelona<\/span><\/a>, belonging to the Institute for Research in Nutrition and Food Safety (<a href=\"http:\/\/insa.ub.edu\/en\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">INSA-UB<\/span><\/a>).

In addition, it provides many short- and long-term benefits for both mother and infant and, in the case of the newborn, reduces the incidence of infections and the risk of suffering from metabolic diseases in the future.<\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">EVOO<\/span><\/strong> is the main source of fat in the Mediterranean diet, but until now it was not known that the <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">phenolic compounds<\/span><\/strong> in this product could become a component of breast milk and be available to infants.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The results of the research showed that <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">phenolic compounds<\/span><\/strong> from the diet &#8211; specifically, those from <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>EVOO<\/strong> <\/span>&#8211; reach the systemic circulation of mothers. In addition, numerous <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">phenolic compounds<\/span><\/strong> and their metabolites were also detected in breast milk. Finally, one of the most relevant findings of this study was that some of the <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">phenolic compounds<\/span><\/strong> or their metabolites were detected in higher concentrations in the offspring&#8217;s plasma than in the mothers&#8217; plasma.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The findings add to the evidence that <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">EVOO<\/span><\/strong>-enriched diets can modify or even increase the content of these bioactive compounds in breast milk with possible health benefits for the infant.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Reference article:\u00a0L\u00f3pez-Yerena, A.; Grases-Pint\u00f3, B.; Zhan-Dai, S.; P\u00e9rez- Cano, F.J.; Lamuela-Raventos, R.M.; Rodr\u00edguez-Lagunas, M.J.; Vallverd\u00fa-Queralt, A. \u00ab<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0308814622011736\">Nutrition during pregnancy and lactation: New evidence for the vertical transmission of extra virgin olive oil phenolic compounds in rats<\/a><\/span>\u00bb.\u00a0<em>Food Chemistry<\/em>, mayo de 2022.
