Medical Video: Adults Try Breast Milk
Breast milk is the baby's staple food to ensure its growth and development.

On the other hand, there are some adults who may have sex fetishes to drink their partner's milk. So, what happens if adults drink breast milk?
What are the ingredients in breast milk?
Protein
Important proteins contained in breast milk, namely whey and casein. Whey content in breast milk is higher than formula milk. In addition, the casein content is also higher than in formula milk.
Fat
Human milk also contains fat which is important for your baby's health. This is needed for brain development, absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, and is the main source of calories.
Vitamin
Breast milk is also rich in vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin E and vitamin A. Vitamin E functions for the resistance of red blood cells. Vitamin A for the body's immunity and growth. There are also water-soluble vitamins such as vitamins B, C, and folic acid that function for brain development and endurance.
Carbohydrate
Lactose is the main carbohydrate found in human milk. Lactose helps reduce the number of unhealthy bacteria in the stomach, which increases absorption of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium.
Immunoglobin in breast milk also helps form permanent antibodies to fight infections throughout your life. Because of these benefits, breastfeeding in infants is recommended for the first six months of the baby's birth.
Breast milk can prevent cancer
ASI is reported to contain a compound called HAMLET (Human Alpha-lactalbumin Made Lethal to Tumour Cells) which can kill cancer cells. After this compound is extracted from breast milk and then injected into the body of the cancer patient, within a few days after injecting the cancer cells appear dead and wasted through urine.
According to the International Journal of Cancer, for mothers the benefits of giving HAMLET contained in breast milk can protect mothers from several types of cancers such as uterine cancer and ovarian cancer. Although this is a relatively new finding, in fact ASI has been believed to be able to treat cancer-like diseases. But its effectiveness has not been truly proven.
A Swedish researcher plans to conduct a trial to compare the benefits of HAMLET with placebo to cancer patients. Because they believe the compound will also potentially cure other types of cancer such as colon and cervical cancer.
