Human breast milk is the only naturally occurring food specifically designed for human consumption.

I'm waiting for somebody brave enough to promote the all-breast milk diet.

[–] puchaczyk@lemmy.blahaj.zone 51 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Activision-Blizzard will gladly promote that.

Don't ask me how I know this, but some parts of the bodybuilding community have been known to pay lactating women a surprisingly high amount for their breast milk.

[–] JovialMicrobial@lemm.ee 29 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Iirc it's not even ideal for body building as human breast milk has higher natural sugars and less protein than other animal milks.

Baby's brains need those extra calories to develop as quickly as they do, hence the extra natural sugars.

[–] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 13 points 3 months ago (2 children)

That's kinda gross. But so is drinking cow tiddy milk.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Popping, birthing, and many other aspects of life are also gross.

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago

There was just an advertisement for colostrum on one of the recent episodes of the Philip DeFranco show.

If anyone doesn't know colostrum is like "early milk," the immediately precursor to breast milk in lactation.

They're trying to sterilize the concept here, but yeah breast milk is actually a thing in the bodybuilding and supplement community: ARMA is one of the biggest brands, I believe, if you want to look the stuff up yourself.

[–] EnderMB@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Haha, I said don't ask!

It came up during one of my childcare courses that I took before I became a dad. You can buy colostrum and breast milk on the dark web, and in some inner-city hospitals it's not uncommon for some women to sell all their breast milk and to give their baby formula for some extra cash. We were told by the midwife that ran the course not to do this...and naturally it resulted in more questions than answers.

Genuinely one of the only things I remember from that course.

There's only the tiny issue that most humans are lactose intolerant. Don't believe me, look it up

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Man it was wild when my GI doc gave me the low-down on that. Like most everything in metabolic science its a "grey subject."

Mammals naturally lose the ability to produce lactase as they wean off mother's milk. However, humans, particularly Europeans and some areas of Africa have consumed dairy for long enough that we do maintain limited lactase production if it is introduced shortly after weaning. There is evidence in some areas of western Europe specifically, where life long production of lactase does appear to have evolved.

But for the majority of the world, yeah, they day we started weaning was the day we stopped being lactose tolerant.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Yep that's similar to what I've heard about it. I've had so many people not believe me that most people globally are not lactose tolerant!

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

But we don't start that way. If we kept drinking breast milk since infancy, we'd maintain our ability to digest it just fine. It's a "use it or lose it" situation.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

That's a theory.... Definitely unverified

[–] tryitout@infosec.pub 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

That's cow's milk.

Edit: guess I'm incorrect, I posted a link below on where I got confused.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I don't think there's a ton of difference actually. It's a known phenomenon that all humans are born tolerating lactose but most lose it with time.

[–] tryitout@infosec.pub 4 points 3 months ago

I guess I was misconstruing based on how the trait to tolerate lactose came about (domestication of dairy animals). But lactose is in all mammal milk so guess I'm incorrect.

[–] OutsizedWalrus@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

It’s all mammal milk

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 11 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Well, down vote me if you want, but, IMO, human milk should be an industry. I can imagine women having the ability to stay at home with their infant or young child and pump milk, and be paid for it.

At present, just about nothing humans produce naturally is something that a company will buy. Most countries don't allow paying for bodily fluids, including but not limited to, blood, plasma, semen (for IVF, etc). Nor do they allow for payment for human organs.

What's left? Hair? I know nobody wants your toenail clippings. Certainly nobody is going to pay you for what comes out your backside.

It's just one of those markets that is completely untouched IMO.

And yes the USA will let people buy organs/blood/plasma, etc, but it's fairly uncommon in the rest of the world.

In any case, I don't think any country has any laws forbidding it, but nobody has done it, to my knowledge.

It's just interesting to me.

Women wouldn't get to stay at home, they'd be forced to pump milk at work to sell as part of a side hustle.

On OnlyFans if you really want to make a buck...

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Is it legal to ship breast milk? Or even legal to sell?

[–] sparkle@lemm.ee 7 points 3 months ago

Shhh shhh no we have to make the peasants believe every exploitable activity is an intelligent sidehustle. THEIR idea. Not something that will be forced upon them by capitalism. How do you think we create like half of professions ever?

[–] Meron35@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Market already filled. Buying/selling human breast milk was uncommon (though heard of) in mainland China, and exploded in popularity after the infant formula scandal.

That's actually a trend among the younger gen alpha folks. Pretty sure it will wear off quickly but gen beta might adopt it, we'll see
