Underweight Babies Likely to Have Heart Disease as Adults

Northwestern University researchers studied a group of 24- to 32-year olds.
They found underweight newborns or babies who had little or no breastfeeding had a higher level of a certain protein linked to inflammation, which can cause heart disease. Â Â
