My breastmilk was yellow, and regularly developed butter when expressed milk was stored in the fridge. Also, the babies gained weight really fast. I was criticized for overfeeding my son, until I informed them that the infant was breast-fed on demand, and then was praised. Nurses were impressed

@insertianameia2224 2 года назад

It's high in fat. ALL women tend to have higher fat milk when their baby is first born. And for those that are preemies, like my son, it stays with an even higher fat content for longer. When breastfeeding after giving birth, checking the color of milk os one thing the nurses are supposed to do. If it is too white for whatever reason, the baby may not be getting everything It's supposed to and they may have to look at supplementing with formula. And even "whiter" hunan milk is still fairly yellow unless they are starting to dry up and produce much less.

@bonnitaclaus2286 2 года назад

Actually, the butter fat in milk varies greatly. Holsteins, is one of the lowest butterfat calls at 3.5% average. Depending on feed, the time of year, age of the calf, and how close it is to being freshened or was freshened. The Holstein milk is called a blue milk, because of a low butter fat. Jersey, Guernsey, brown Swiss, and others such as this give yellow milk or full bodied milk. These give the best milk for cheeses. Guernsey and jersey runs a solid 4.7& to 4.8% butterfat. The quantity of milk varies as well the higher the butter fat the lower the quantity as a rule. The cause of 1600s gave about a gallon plus or minus a day. The cows such as Holsteins can give 6 gallons a day. The amount of water that the car gets also has influence on how much milk they give as well as the genetics. Cows is milk has pretty much the same milk profile case with variations as to the grasses and his feed. This will influence the taste of the milk. It’ll still be identifiable as cows milk.

Correct, but With Milk it is NOT 3.5%...that is by weight, not calories (milk is the ONLY food fat measured by weight - because of the milk lobby). 1 cup of whole milk has 149 calories, 72 from fat (8 grams of fat x 9 calories per gram). 72/149 = 48% FAT

I hit 23 years old I started having issues with ulcers and gastritis... 10 years later I stopped drinking milk after I started understanding my biology. Within a day my ulcers had stopped and I stopped taking medication. No doctor ever thought of telling me to stop drinking milk because I was lactose intolerant. They were happy to take my money for 10 years. I don't know about other part of the world but if you African with constant ulcers and or gastritis and you have milk in your diet, please stop for a few days or weeks then observe how your tummy reacts.

(Sorry for the late comment) Made a similar experience. For many years I struggled with really bad acne and no matter what I did or what the doctor did; it didn't go away. Eventually I made a test (after reading how anything we eat goes right into our skin and bad food makes the skin react negatively). Replaced cow's milk with almond milk and within two weeks my skin cleared up. Haven't consumed any dairy since then. Now that there is a family history of breast cancer, the massive amount of hormones in cow's milk would put me at a higher risk.

I remember studying the development of milk digestion in humans at uni; If I remember rightly, the ability for adult humans to digest animal milk evolved on five separate occasions. 3 times in Eurasia and twice in the Americas. The adaption involved mutations on two separate genes. Three of the population's evolutions happened on one of these genes, and the two other populations had the mutation on one other specific gene. Both had the same result of being able to digest milk. I don't remember any other of the specifics, but it was enough for milk digestion to be apparent in western Europeans, some South Americans, and also among the Mongol hordes among others. The development of human digestion of animal milk is an idea that pervades many hippy ideologies, but actually happened a fair bit.

I thing it’s like goat milk or sheep milk.

What cruelty are you referring to? As far as I can see, other than de-horning, there wouldn't be much difference. The main cruelty involved with dairying is removing calves from their mothers at five days, and the necessary meat production that results from it.

Why he opened the thermos and why he thought it was a good idea to put some of the stuff in his coffee I still don’t know.

I used to be quite curious what human milk tastes like, but now that I'm feeding my baby with (my own) expressed milk I delved into it a little more and it turns out there are quite a few serious diseases you can transfer via human milk, including HIV. Obviously, if you only drink your mom's milk and there's no reason to assume she might have a disease, that won't likely be a problem, but given the risks involved it might be adaptive for (even lactase producing) adults to be put off the stuff.

Obviously, I was there but I wasn't quite at the remembering things stage.) and I had to have a procedure to clear the blockage using fibre-optic cameras.

When i went to college i went from drinking milk daily to barely at all since the brand on campus tasted awful.

Just a theory based on personal experience.

@metamorphicorder 2 года назад

Have you tried grass fed and or raw milk? You might find it tolerable. I remember reading that raw milk contains enzymes that are inactivated by the heat of pasturization so the pasteurized milk is less digestible.

@jasonreed7522 2 года назад

@@metamorphicorder Raw milk is a very dangerous game. While milk straight from the balk tank is considered the best tasting, due in part to fat content making it creamy. It also is extremely easy for manure (poop) to contaminate it as cows lay down in crap all the time and are generally unsanitary. Additionally if the cow is sick (extra common in large farms) that could infect the milk as well, along with the fact litterally everything is always covered in germs. I would never try to drink raw milk if you aren't a farmer drinking your own milk for your entire life as bacteria growth increases exponentially and the risk of food poisoning would be high. (I would wager worse than raw eggs) Also i feel like raw milk would be the most irritating of all dairy products on a lactose intolerant GI tract.

People often react to cockroaches with disgust since they're considered a pest, but roaches are an ecologically necessary and beneficial insect, as they're important decomposers. They're also unusually clean, given their typical habitats, and roaches could be raised as food livestock to replace more environmentally costly animals.

Huh. Milk, fur/hair, and... three middle-ear bones? Nifty! I was always taught that the third thing was being warm-blooded, but I suppose that since that isn't *exclusive* to mammals (birds, for example, also being endothermic, along with some fish!), it isn't a defining feature anymore? But then, some insects (like some moths, and bees) have fur too; is it a different enough type of a structure with them (based perhaps on chitin rather than keratin?) that it only *looks* like hair, but is actually distinct from mammalian hair? And what about milk? Because if cockroaches produce something like it... //shudders// --Ah, wait, no; that'd be why it's *mammary glands,* not "produces milk". --Wait, I forgot about the live birth!

Not relevant to the topic, though definitely agree that it is a huge problem. This was a video about the chemical relationship between humans and milk. I agree they should do a video on that subject. Another point is, they deal only in facts, not opinion, so in all likelihood, if they did do a video on the facts about dairy farming in relation to the environment, it would not go as far as to pronounce on ethical considerations. Crash Course philosophy would have something on that.

You can sometimes see creationists claim that evolution cannot be observed(as if that mattered)so I give them the example of lactase persistence in human populations. The gene modification came about in the Balkans and Central Europe about 7,500 years ago. A similar modification occurred in parts of East Africa maybe about 6,800 years ago. Of course there are even shorter modifications in many other animals that occur when their immediate environment changes. University College London's Mark Thomas published on the lactase persistence in 2009.
