Mother's milk is the only food consumed by new born babies. The new research has shown that mother milk retains the flavor of the food eaten by them before feeding the child.

The study done by the University of Copenhagen included 18 lactating mothers. This research was lead by Dr Helene Hausner, of Copenhagen University. The researchers gave these nursing mums capsules containing a variety of flavors, including banana, liquorice, caraway seed and menthol. Sample of milk before and after eating these capsules was tested.

Copenhagen - An increase in bird flocks in Denmark due to mild winters pose a threat to farmers' crops, reports said Friday.

Mild winters in recent years have contributed to an increase in bird flocks, and the regional farmers union in Denmarks's northern Zealand region say they want to be able to cull the flocks that feed on their crops, the regional paper Frederiksborg Amts Avis reported.

"This is a vicious circle," farmers union leader Herdis Dam told the newspaper.

"The mild winters mean that more birds breed the year round, and since one doesn't want to hunt the birds when they have young the hunting season is reduced," he added.

Copenhagen - Two Danish soldiers injured Wednesday in Afghanistan were to be flown to Denmark for treatment, the Danish military high command in Copenhagen said Thursday.
