Good one, Jean!  That lack of unattached albumin is a real problem.  What's
specifically problematic is when those single albumin decide to flirt with
and then become attached to others of a different ilk -- Pitocin, for
example, or some drugs.....and then there are even fewer albumin looking for
a partner.

Of course, if we could get more alphalactalbumin into the baby's system via
breastmilk, then there would be more single albumin to marry off to those
cruisin' Bill E. Rubins, and they wouldn't have to plying their trade
elsewhere, if you get my drift.
