Ladies, the real energy drink is under your shirt! Athletes Drinking Breast Milk For Increased Stamina, Better Health Breast milk is great for providing immune system-building nutrients to babies…but apparently healthy grown men are now ALSO hitting the mommy cream to boost their energy and improve overall health… Care for a sip? It IS all-natural after all. Via MailOnline : A number of male athletes are apparently turning to human breast milk as a natural alternative to energy drinks. Anthony, a 30-something athlete from Queens, New York, told NYMag.com that he’s met ‘a lot of guys’ at different gyms who consume ‘the good stuff’. He typically buys the rich and creamy fluid online, from sites including Only the Breast and Human Milk 4 Human Babies, for about $2.50 an ounce. The fitness fanatic says that it gives him ‘incredible energy’. Addressing critics who may brand him ‘weird’, he continued: ‘I don’t believe in steroids or other energy supplements, none of that garbage. ‘I want natural stuff that’s God-given, and if it’s okay with moms looking to get rid of [the breast milk], I’ll take it.’ Other less athletic men who drink breast milk agree that it makes them feel healthier. David, 42, from Brooklyn, told the site that he first drank breast milk three years ago in a bid to alleviate nausea caused by chemotherapy. He said that the ‘sweet’ and ‘ambrosial’ drink was an effective remedy. And Jason Nash, 55, who tasted breast milk when he and his wife welcomed their first baby, believes it staves off illness. Jan Barger, a lactation consultant, told NYmag.com that it is common for chemotherapy patients to drink breast milk because it’s easier to digest than the animal equivalent. However, she doubts that breast milk would offer benefits to healthy people since it’s designed to feed infants, not 200-pound-plus men. Um…GROSS! What’s wrong with just taking vitamins? What do you think, Bossip fam? Would you turn to Mama-milk to bang out a good gym session?
