Gates Foundation Grants $100,000 for Research on Milk

Bill and Melinda Gates have given a $100,000 grant to UC Davis microbiologist, David Mills, to study the potential for milk to prevent some gastrointestinal infections. The complex sugars in milk have the potential to promote healthy intestine bacteria which could save some of the  millions of children that die annually from diarrhea related diseases.
