This article argues that the conflicting nature of international food aid policy and economic development maximally benefits wealthy countries at the cost of reduced access to nutrient rich foods in developing countries.

Contrary to the usual assumption of pathology, there are several lines of evidence supporting an adaptive role for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. First, experimental and clinical evidence indicate that neonatal enzyme systems are n…
