What does breast milk taste like?

LÂM PHONG (THEO HEALTHLINE) |

We all know that breast milk is very healthy, but have you ever wondered what breast milk tastes like? Can adults drink breast milk?

Nearly the same as the taste of sugary almond milk

If describing breast milk, scientists compare it to the taste of sugary almond milk.

However, the flavor of breast milk is also affected by what you eat during the day.

Some people who have tried breast milk say that it has the flavor of: Cucumbers; sugar water; melon; melting cream; honey.

As you know, newborns cannot talk, but these children will remember their breast milk until they gradually stop drinking.

If I could speak it in words, I would definitely say: "mother's milk is really sweet and fragrant."

Most mothers say that breast milk smells like cow's milk, but is lighter and sweeter. Some people say that their milk sometimes smells of "SAF". Because breast milk contains high levels of lipase, an enzyme that helps break down fat.

The breast milk has been frozen and defrosted and may smell slightly sour. If not properly preserved, it will have an unpleasant smell, like when cows milk is fermented and sour.

A true "feeding circle"

Junior Bouchet, Executive Director of New York Dairy Bank, USA, said: Mothers milk has growth hormones for brain development and also has anti-inflammatory properties to protect vulnerable babies from diseases that babies suffer from.

In addition, breast milk also contains bioactive molecules such as:

+ Protect against infection and inflammation

+ Helps the immune system mature

+ Promotes organ development

+ Encourage healthy microorganisational invasion

Are adults allowed to drink breast milk?

The answer is yes. But in fact, breast milk is just a form of nutritional liquid in the body. Therefore, it is difficult if we dare to drink breast milk from a relative or an unknown person, right?

According to a study in the US, many adults have drunk breast milk without any health problems. Some bodybuilders have switched to using breast milk as a superfood, but there is no evidence to show that it improves performance at the gym.

According to a report by The Seattle Times, there have been some cases of people with cancer, digestive disorders and immune disorders using breast milk from breast milk banks to help fight their illnesses. However, this is still not recommended because breast milk is for newborns.
