The phrase "you are what you eat" really is true, according to a new study published in the online journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Researchers have determined that baby boys who are breastfed during the first six months of their lives--who also gain the most weight during this crucial developmental period--grow up to be stronger and more masculine than men who are undernourished.
According to Christopher Kuzawa, a biological anthropologist at Northwestern University and author of the study, the first six months of a boy's life is "when testosterone is at roughly adult levels". This means that getting proper nutrition during this time is absolutely crucial if boys are to develop into healthy maturity.
