結論
We found no significant differences in the stool frequency or consistency between the two formula groups. The percentage of crying infants in the LBP group was significantly higher than that in the HBP and BF groups during the evening at 6 weeks (88.2% vs. 56.3% and 55.6%, p<0.05) and during the afternoon at 12 weeks (91.7% vs. 50.0% and 40%, p<0.05). The infants fed HBP had significantly shorter crying durations when compared with infants fed LBP formula (14.90±3.85 vs.63.96±21.76 min/day, respectively; p=0.047).
とのことで、βパルミチン酸の量が少ない方が量が多いミルクや母乳の子に比べて、泣く子の割合が明らかに多くなったと言う結果を提示しています。
