BREAST MILK

...not just for babies.

Would you do this?

New York Magazine's "The Cut" featured a few *men* who drink breast milk. Yes, grown men. Drinking breast milk... because of its supposed health benefits.

An athlete in Queens told the Mag he drinks it because it gives him incredible energy. One father who's been drinking it since his first child was born says it's kept him from getting sick, and one Brooklyn man says it helped with his nausea while he was going through chemotherapy.

This might be news to us, but The Telegraph reported last year that the natural drink was already quite popular in China among those with poor health.

I don't like milk much anyway.

But, I guess if it was something that I needed or wanted for health purposes, it wouldn't bother me to drink human breast milk much more than it does to drink cow's milk or goat's milk.

But, just like the cow's or goat's milk, I'd prefer to drink human milk out of a carton or bottle rather than sucking on a tit to get it. I completely understand why others might prefer direct-from-the-source, though.

No.

I don't drink milk at all. Humans are the only beings that continue to drink milk after being weaned with suggests to me that we really don't need it for good health.

I'm pretty sure it would make me gag.

I never drink milk. I hate milk unless it's chocolate. Even then I can only drink a small amount. I only put a little on my cereal. Thing 2 loves milk. He could drink a gallon a day.

I don't like cow pus much either.
