Human Breast Milk From Cows?

June 9, 2011

Within the next three years, you'll be able to buy human breast milk produced from cows, thanks to genetic modification from Chinese scientists

The milk is still undergoing tests, but researchers say it has the same nutritional and immunity benefits of human breast milk. 

Workers at the dairy farm have tasted the human milk produced by cows and say it's much sweeter than usual cow's milk.

Hope this doesn't convince new mom's that breast feeding isn't worth the effort...tho it's wonderful for those who absolutely cannot breast feed. And there's no way bottle feeding cow-produced human breast milk will ever feel as fulfilling, pleasurable, and just plain "right" for mom and baby.

I don't understand this. Why the need for cows when women make it automatically? Do they need breastmilk for some reason other than to feed infants? Just another way to make women obsolete I fear.

I enjoy milk from ow that have eaten wild Leeks as part of their diet. As my last name is Leek there is nothing better that onion flavored milk with my cereal in the morning.

oh I do so agree but if it comes down to that horrible soy formula or this engineered milk I have to think this would have to win hands down.
