Well, like I said above, mainly prions. But I’m sure there’s something else I’m overlooking. In this scenario I’m imagining commercial availability means it could pretty much come from anyone and would most likely be mixed from multiple people due to low production volumes. Something bad seems to happen when you do things like that, imo. But I’m just an armchair pathologist.
Human milk banks exist, as the concept of wet nurses, so sharing milk is not a novelty concept.
Humans also retain the capability to digest milk throughout their entire lives (yes, exceptions apply), so the problem of biological use is already solved as well.
The last barrier may be on the level of actualling producing it, perhaps?
Unlike animals, humans can actively consent on having their milk harvested for consumption by others.
So, the only hurdle to really solve is perhaps the resistance or taboo of human milk being like any other milk, if not even fairer.
So, milk from goat (female goat is called nanny, but writing it would be weird) or female buffalo is not real milk?
Human milk is not real milk
Human milk, commercially available, would be an interesting concept.
ive had human milk ice cream
Care to share the experience?
Human cheese, human yogurt, etc… I’ve brought this up to people before and most of them get really squicked out by it.
Honestly, I’d try it, but I feel like it might be too easy to spread diseases that way.
Pasteurization is a thing.
That doesn’t reduce the amount of prions enough for me to risk it.
What is the reason for extra concern regardin human milk?

@qyron @MeDuViNoX Well, we are not babies still. Milk from any mother would be for a baby, most generally her own.

So it’s Nestlé’s fault I can’t get it in my coffee? Damn you Nestlé!
I’ve worked around buffalo, the last bloody thing I would do is try to milk one.
Honestly, I’ve never seen buffalo milk being sold, but cheese, is super common.
It’s exceedingly popular up in the manor…
Idk. Think of the incredible mozzarella you could make with it.
