Associations between fatty acids in colostrum and breast milk and risk of allergic disease

Background Exposure to n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in early life is hypothesized to offer protection against atopic disease. However, there is controversy in this area, and we have previously observed that high levels of n‐3 fatty acid (FA) in colostrum are associated with increased risk of allergic sensitization.
