Hi all, In my knowledge there is no problem if adults consume breastmilk. I have even heard of some cultures giving breatmilk to the sick, and particularly the elderly, and apparently it can be a miracle cure! CeCe, does your boyfriend drink cow's milk? Surely this is more unnatural than to consume human milk. he is not a calf after all! Isn't it strange that society doesn't bat an eyelid when cow's milk is drunk yet considers it somewhat awful to think of drinking human milk which is after all meant for humans. The cholesterol in breastmilk is not a problem as breastmilk also contains other properties that help brek down the cholesterol. Also, two types of cholesterol exist. One is not so good but the other is essential in the human body. If enough of this essential cholesterol is not consumed the body will actually manufacture it itself so either way, we are going to get this cholesterol in our bodies. hope this helps.
