I received this response from Jane Kershaw. Permission to post given.



"This is a big for profit company that is competing against pasteurized human milk used in NICU's. It is a commercial adventure. The methods used for pasteurization completely sterilize the milk. Because of this company the efforts to expand milk banks that are not for profit is stalled. They are in competition with prolactin and HMBANA as well as formula companies. I can't figure out how to post on lactnet or I would post this myself. Would love for more research to be shown. But my Neonatologist friends say none has been offered but hospital executives are being courted to buy this product."



I know that with pasteurization that 100% of the secretory IGA is still intact, but I'm wondering if maybe that's not true for sterilized milk?
