Mother’s milk may the best thing for a new-born baby, but is it good enough for Manhattan restaurant goers? Chef Daniel Angerer seems to think so after he decided to make cheese from his fiancé’s breast milk. Angerer cottoned on to the idea of using the excess breast milk his fiancé Lori Mason generated for their 11-month-old baby girl Arabella. The reality TV chef said there was so much breast milk in the freezer that they ran out of space, and he got curious.
Then Angerer, who runs the downtown Manhattan brasserie Klee, posted his recipe for breast milk cheese on his blog and 70 000 readers also became curious. Some readers even posted their own recipes for pancakes and key lime pie using breast milk, while the 37-year-old chef has allowed a few private individuals to taste his cheese. His recipe, however, wasn’t received with favorably by everyone with some critics saying he’s gone too far.
But Angerer will not be using the breast milk in his restaurant – the New York City Health Department says breast milk is not intended for adults or wide public consumption. Angerer and Mason have no decided to rather donate the extra breast milk to a milk bank in North Carolina.
Celeb Diet Doc Says…
It’s ironic but there should be more controversy about humans drinking cows milk. Why are we drinking milk designed to make a calf double in size in a couple of months?
The make up of human milk (1.1% protein, 4.2% fat, 7.0% lactose (a sugar)) is entirely different than cow’s milk (3.4% protein, 3.6% fat, and 4.6% lactose) with cows milk containing 3x more protein. There is also research to suggest that casein (the main protein found in cows milk) promotes cancer cell growth which may explain why dairy consumption is associated with increased rates of prostate cancer in men and ovarian cancer in women.
Okay pass the cheese please:)

I think the casein study was done on bovine, not on grass fed milk.
I would like to get off of milk but until I find a better source of calcium, milk is the best option for me at this point.
Broccoli, kale, and bok choy gave me false hopes of calcium. The x-rays proved this to me. So I'm not getting off of milk anytime soon!
casein from grass fed milk is structurally the same.. no difference.
milk may actually make your osteoporosis worse… by causing more calcium loss in your urine than you are taking in.
make sure you don't have a gluten allergy as this has been linked with osteoporosis.. eat more of a plant based diet, less processed foods, salt, sugar, caffeine…
and transdermal, bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy is another possible, although controversial option.
