Le lait maternel fait grandir le corps des bébés, alimente le développement neuronal, fournit des facteurs immunitaires essentiels et protège de la famine et des maladies. Dans ce cas, pourquoi la science en sait-elle plus sur les tomates que sur le lait maternel ? Katie Hinde partage ses connaissances sur cette substance complexe qui donne la vie et discute des lacunes majeures que la recherche scientifique doit combler pour que nous puissions mieux la comprendre.

"The More I Learn About Breast Milk, the More Amazed I Am"
Food critic Angela Garbes turned her culinary lens on the substance with which she was nourishing her daughter. She noted that breast milk "possesses subtleties in flavor that reflect its terroir—the mother's body." This essay explores the body politic as well as the science, and all deeply embedded within her own personal experiences of the rhythm and cycle of being a working, lactating mom. Garbes's first foray into breast milk went quickly viral precisely because it grappled with the nuances and complexities of breastfeeding.
