I like this line of thinking, Valerie. If it is true, as Kathy says, that overproduction is unheard of in traditional cultures...that makes me wonder even more. I was raised on cows milk and beef and so were many of the women I work with. Is this also true for the women from Australia? What if it is true that some of us are genetically predisposed to overproduction and then, we are overstimulated by the chemical environment...and Wala...we have way more milk than we need. Just refusing to drain it does not take care of the problem...believe me, I've tried.
