Her comment attracted shock, horror and disgust from many social media users, but it’s not the first time Kardashian Barker has used her milk as medicine.

Key Points: 
  • Her comment attracted shock, horror and disgust from many social media users, but it’s not the first time Kardashian Barker has used her milk as medicine.
  • In 2013, she applied her breast milk to her sister Kim Kardashian’s leg in an effort to heal a patch of psoriasis.
  • But by drinking her own breast milk, the eldest Kardashian sister helped promote a health trend already steeped in centuries of medical history.
  • One thing that is not recommended by any health organisation is adult consumption of human milk.

History of human milk as medicine

  • Many healers of the day also recommended treating eye infections with human milk, which was known as “whitened blood”.
  • We know that human milk contains many components which can be effective as antimicrobials – lactoferrin and antimicrobial peptides, for example.

Bodybuilders think breast is best

  • Human milk is also used by some bodybuilders to lose fat and bulk up.
  • This has created an online marketplace allowing easy access to breast milk.
  • The 2020 Netflix series (Un)Well featured an episode focused on the safety and ethics of breast milk for bodybuilding.

Lack of research into potential benefits

  • Considering human milk feeds most of the world’s population for the first six months of their life, it is a surprisingly understudied area.
  • Researchers have shown preliminary evidence that specific components of human milk could have antimicrobial activity against pathogens that infect adults.
  • If she does, there are many human milk banks in her native California that would welcome her donation.

The Conversation has collaborated with SciLine to bring you highlights from the discussion that have been edited for brevity and clarity.

Key Points: 
  • The Conversation has collaborated with SciLine to bring you highlights from the discussion that have been edited for brevity and clarity.
  • Christopher Ali: Broadband internet, often just called broadband, is the technical term for high-speed internet connectivity.
  • But what high-speed internet fundamentally means to Americans is do we have the connectivity necessary to go about our digital lives.
  • Right now, the FCC reports that 7.2 million people lack access, but the commission numbers have been historically suspect.
  • But one thing is certain: Broadband deserts are most often found in rural, remote and Indigenous areas.
  • A program called the Affordable Connectivity Program subsidizes broadband for low-income families, and 50 million families across the country are eligible.
  • Some studies have found that access to broadband can impact grades and SAT scores, although there is disagreement about this.
