The Commodification of Breast Milk by Matt Dias

“…A scenario of this nature materialized in February, when a nursing woman sold her breast milk to the highest bidders on Craigslist.[9] While this person sells to mothers incapable of nursing, she apparently also sells to bodybuilders who believe that the properties of breast milk will optimize their energy levels.[10] She advertises “I do not drink, or do drugs, and I take a multivitamin daily,” yet the milk she sells is not tested for disease, in contrast to donor milk at licensed milk banks.[11] The consumption of unscreened milk could pose serious health risks for infants and adults alike, thus leading to a high risk of disease transmission.[12] Recent issues plaguing unregulated sales of breast milk should serve as a call to action for healthcare professionals and policymakers. …”
