In Israel in therough the 1970s it was advised to drink black malted beer for
increasing milk supply.  Based on the malt and barley.  Then people thought it
was a wive's tale.  However, in the 90s when I was doing my thesis,  I read a
research article about a study carried out in France that black beer did have a
positive effect.

If the effect comes from the malt and barley,  I would think logically that also
eating the whole grain, barley would help.
