There have been a lot of arguments going around lately that men can produce milk and nurse their infants. While I am aware that the tissue make up of a man's breast is similar to a womans and they very well COULD produce milk, i am wondering if there are any studies that have been done on whether or not that milk is even nutritious in any way shape or form?
The claim is that third world countries do this all the time. I find it hard to believe without the use of medicinal help or hormones and even harder to believe that it could sustain life for a newborn infant.
Anyone have info on this??
