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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
