Interesting . . . especially considering that gut regulation and other emotion-related processes are affected by early-life bonding (attachment . . . relationships). You can't separate bodily health from mental health in the end.

A study conducted five years ago received a lot of attention when it seemed to reveal that babies have an innate moral compass, that people are inherently good and that society is not responsible for the fact that the majority of us do not flagrantly break laws on a daily basis. Now, new research has come out that calls that into question. While it does not go so far as The Onion article that describes children as sociopaths, the study states that the researchers may have read a bit too far into babies' natural preferences.

"Ninety-nine hundredths of our activity is purely automatic," the psychologist and philosopher William James famously wrote. "All of our life is nothing but a mass of habits." James was pointing out that, though we give habits little thought, they define our lives: how much we eat, save or spend, how often we trek to the gym and what we say to our kids each night.
