A member asked:
Can you make a cup of tea using breast milk? would this be bad for adults to drink their own milk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You can for tea but: No it is not healthy for adults as it is high in chlesterol and it is high in cholesterol as babies benefit from high cholesterol levels, thats why synthetic infant formulas are beginning to include fatty acids as well.But what is good for the babies is not good for adults.Secondly breast milk also is high in sugar which is lactose.
