Adverse Effects
Proton pump inhibitors (as well as other antacid preparations), by suppressing acid-mediated breakdown of proteins, lead to an elevated risk of developing food allergies. These undigested proteins then pass into the gastrointestinal tract potentially leading to sensitization to a range of foods or drugs. It is unclear whether this risk occurs with only long-term use or with short-term use as well.

—James Madison (1751–1836)
“Corporate America will likely be motivated to support child care when it can be shown to have positive effects on that which management is concerned about—recruitment, retention and productivity. Indeed, employers relate to child care as a way to provide growth fostering environments for young managers.”
—Dana E. Friedman (20th century)
