A man I used to work with saw me last week and mentioned he had seen
something in print about female deer producing milk that is higher in
protein for male offspring.  He wanted to know if that was true for
humans.  I had no idea and had never in all these years been asked.
Does anyone know?  Has anyone ever tested for it?  I don't have any idea
where he saw this, and the mental picture of milking deer to test their
milk is painting a really strange picture in my mind!  But I told him I
would ask.  Anybody want to venture a guess or has this actually been
documented somewhere?
