A Good Evening from England,
Do you think that if you had generations of families living in cold climes
that mother's milk would have a higher fat content than those people/tribes
who come from hot lands?

This idle thought came about when someone posted that reindeer have very high
fat content and then surfaced again with posting about bubbles in high fat
content breastmilk - does this mother have ancestoral connections with cold
climes of Russia or mountain regions of Eastern Europe?

On another thread I know that seals have high fat content, I think they feed
their calves in seconds, certainly only a few minutes and are able to leave
their young for long, long periods whilst mother goes out to sea to hunt.

Kind regards from Helen Woodman  where outside is a bright moon and starlit
cold frosty night in West Sussex,UK , hot water bottle and bedsocks tonight !
