re: March 22 digest about green milk
The best source for colours of milk and maternal dietary intake is in
Ruth Lawrence's text. I am using the latest edition (4th edition).
Lawrence RA. Breastfeeding: A guide for the medical profession. Toronto:
Mosby, 1994.
On page 305-306, there are various descriptions of pink, orange, green
and black milk. Regarding green milk, the quote is from page 306:
"Several items have been clearly identified. Gatorade (the green
beverage), kelp, and other forms of seaweed, especially in tablet form,
and natural vitamins from health-food sources each have been associated
with one or more cases of green milk and usually green urine".
It's always helpful to have a reference. Hope this helps. (ps. it is
still WINTER, despite the calendar, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada - a
blizzard is in the forecast for this evening! Hope comet Hakutake will
brighten up your lives in the coming few days).
