Human breast milk is the only naturally occurring food specifically designed for human consumption.
I’m waiting for somebody brave enough to promote the all-breast milk diet.
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.
How do you know that?
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.
There’s only the tiny issue that most humans are lactose intolerant. Don’t believe me, look it up
Man it was wild when my GI doc gave me the low-down on that. Like most everything in metabolic science its a “grey subject.”
Mammals naturally lose the ability to produce lactase as they wean off mother’s milk. However, humans, particularly Europeans and some areas of Africa have consumed dairy for long enough that we do maintain limited lactase production if it is introduced shortly after weaning. There is evidence in some areas of western Europe specifically, where life long production of lactase does appear to have evolved.
But for the majority of the world, yeah, they day we started weaning was the day we stopped being lactose tolerant.
Yep that’s similar to what I’ve heard about it. I’ve had so many people not believe me that most people globally are not lactose tolerant!
But we don’t start that way. If we kept drinking breast milk since infancy, we’d maintain our ability to digest it just fine. It’s a “use it or lose it” situation.
That’s a theory… Definitely unverified
Homelander also waiting for this
Immortan Joe has entered the chat…
I’ve heard Cambodian breast Milk is the finest.
Only for certain years, after that humans are supposed to just Thanos snap into ether.
That’s actually a trend among the younger gen alpha folks. Pretty sure it will wear off quickly but gen beta might adopt it, we’ll see
Well … it’s designed for you to buy at least
You are literally designed to eat craps found on the ground.
I tried that once. Don’t eat the Milk Duds that come out of a rabbit, trust me, they taste like shit.
We’re all eating craps on this blessed day.
Instructions unclear, literally craps on ground.
I’m pretty sure we were literally designed to do what we’re doing.
Imagine having unprocessed food. It’s like raw and uncooked and unseasoned and simply unprocessed. Sounds awful to be honest.
There is a lot of truth to this
Processed food, is easier to digest, more nutritious, less likely to contain deadly bacteria/viruses, lasts longer.
The real problem is our dumb bodies and brains have no sense of moderation and we consume too much.
The only real problem that isn’t an adaptation issue is the preservatives, digestion is essentially a sped up form of decomposition if our food doesn’t rot it doesn’t digest.
Yeah. Our bodies are doing the right thing after millions of years of evolution. When you find something high fat high carb and salty, go crazy before the bear kills you. It just doesn’t know that there’s infinitely more food and almost no chance of a bear attacking you. We developed food much faster than our brains could adapt.
At the same time, we are not just our bodies but also our gut biome, and they particularly enjoy less processed foods, high in fiber, highly fermentable, and still intact even after crossing stomach.
It just doesn’t know that there’s infinitely more food and almost no chance of a bear attacking you.
Did you just assume our bear threat level??? What if we live in Detroit??? I mean, I assume bears frequently roam Detroit’s streets with how run down it is…
Or what about San Fransisco? I hear there’s TONS of bears there!
Also, processed foods are usually made with lower quality ingredients in unbalanced ratios.
Just look at how high quality medically prescribed balanced food can be and compare that against the average breakfast cereal or training supplement.
There’s processed, and then there’s Processed. When I make bread, it’s a processed food, it’s not just whole wheats. Except for fruit, most of what I eat is processed, but not much Processed.
French fries are so delicious though. Chips and chips are my junk food.
The actual term is ultra processed. Anything that requires industrial level machinery to make or industrial ingredients are ultra processed.
This podcast episode goes into great detail about the subject. https://youtu.be/eNOi66OclA4?si=XDtfu-NhhfYLlThx

Unprocessed food is, where your belly realizes where to stop. Processed food is, where your brain wants more.
Y’know…

Yeah great point. Humans are definitely always better at doing things (while pursuing profit) than millions of years of evolution can do :/
This mf out here thinking they aren’t the result of millions of years of evolution.
