The prostate is a gland found only in men. They main purpose of the prostate is to produce seminal fluid. It is shaped like a cashew nut and wraps around the urethra (tube through with urine from the bladder and seminal fluid leaves the body).
80% of bladder infections are usually caused by a bacteria (E.coli) which travel from the outside the body up through the urethra (the tube through which urine is passed) into the bladder.

Breast is best because it is human milk made for human babies. It contains all the nutrients that a baby requires; and the mother’s body has the ability to change breast milk as the baby grows and his needs change. The antibodies in breast milk enhance the baby’s immune system and protect him from infections. There are antibodies present to everything that the mother has ever suffered herself, to everything against which she was immunized and also to everything to which she is exposed. Within 12 hours of exposure of the mother to a particular bacteria/virus the antibodies are present in the milk. Breast milk is a convenient and economical choice. It is the ONLY free consumer product. There is no such thing as weak milk or strong milk. It is always correct for the baby, at the right temperature too.
