Antibiotics significantly alter the microbiome, especially during the critical formative years of early childhood. Research indicates that children who receive antibiotics in their first years of life face a 20% higher obesity rate, a 21% increased incidence of learning disabilities, and a 32% higher likelihood of developing attention deficit disorder. Additionally, these children exhibit a staggering 90% higher rate of asthma and nearly 300% higher rates of celiac disease.
