The Perth scientist who made the world-first discovery that human breast milk contains stem cells is confident that within five years scientists will be harvesting them to research treatment for conditions as far-reaching as spinal injuries, diabetes and Parkinson’s disease.
But what Dr Mark Cregan is excited about right now is the promise that his discovery could be the start of many more exciting revelations about the potency of breast milk.
He believes that it not only meets all the nutritional needs of a growing infant but contains key markers that guide his or her development into adulthood.
“We already know how breast milk provides for the baby’s nutritional needs, but we are only just beginning to understand that it probably performs many other functions,” says Dr Cregan, a molecular biologist at The University of Western Australia.
He says that, in essence, a new mother’s mammary glands take over from the placenta to provide the development guidance to ensure a baby’s genetic destiny is fulfilled.
“It is setting the baby up for the perfect development,” he says. “We already know that babies who are breast fed have an IQ advantage and that there’s a raft of other health benefits. Researchers also believe that the protective effects of being breast fed continue well into adult life.

After all this is Free Repubis!
Is this research accurate or are they just milking us?
Umm . . . good news!
You're welcome. I just couldn't resist the link though.
My daughter was breast fed and home schooled. She is now a very formidable adult with a college degree. When my wife was pregnant (1983) we chose our OB and pediatrician largely on the basis of being in favor of nursing. We weren't going to get railroaded into formula.
No liberal wants a cure from easily acquired breast milk. They only fought hard for stem cell research when it involved killing human embryos. They are dead silent when stem cells are found elsewhere. Hmmm.

Ew!
We can certainly tell that she's excited, since it shows on her ... face ...
There was a young woman from Pratt,But -this- woman you found has that all worked out...
Who had triplets named Pit, Pat, and Tat.
The playtimes went well,
But the feeding was hell,
When she found there was no tit for Tat!

I say, why should I wait five years to begin feeling the curative powers?
