Ethylene oxide is also hydrolyzed to produce ethylene glycol, widely used as an automotive antifreeze as well as higher molecular weight glycols, glycol ethers and polyethylene terephthalate. Ethylene undergoes oxidation by palladium to give acetaldehyde. This conversion remains a major industrial process (10M kg/y).
Galactagogues (substances claimed to increase supply). Galactagogues are foods, herbs or medications that can help to increase breastmilk supply. The use of a galactagogue requires consultation with a lactation consultant and/or medical adviser. At least 95% of mothers are able to produce more than enough milk for their baby(ies), especially when accurate support and information is obtained (1).
Brewer's yeast is believed to be a galactagogue. It's a supplement that breastfeeding mothers use to support lactation and make more breast milk. While there aren't enough studies to say for sure why or even if brewer's yeast actually works to increase the breast milk supply, there also aren't enough studies to say that it doesn't work.
