The article quotes Elena Taggert Medo, the founder of International Milk
Science Corp. as saying, "Human milk is the most undervalued commodity in our
society."   Also stated "Medo estimates that her company could process 4
million ounces of milk a year, which would be marketed to hospitals for
premature and sick infants.

Is this part of the Milk Bank Assoc? Does anyone here know any more about
this business? Is this the way it is done in other countries? Just curious to
know more about this.
