Many babies in Germany were killed by diarrhea in 1908 due to acute gastrointestinal infections.
An Austrian Professor Ernst Moro, found out an experiment that a simple carrot soup decreased the death rate of babies suffering from diarrhea by nearly 50%.
Indeed, a German study published in 2002 showed that acidic oligosaccharides formed in aqueous extracts from carrots may lead to less adherence of bacterial agents to the mucosal wall of the bowel, so it is a more effective treatment for acute gastrointestinal infections of children than glucose-electrolyte-solution oral rehydration.
