A member asked:
Can you tell me, are there any health benefits for adults to drink breast milk?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Am not aware of: Any immune effect bestowed to an adult by drinking human breast milk. No of no specific benefits.

Mostly myth: Any proposed benefit is more myth than real. Any supposed immune benefit is diluted too much by other food intake to matter. It is a source of some liquid/protein/carbohydrates/fat and various elements.It does not trigger improved health/vigor/hormonal balance any better than a standard balanced diet.
