Breastmilk key ingredient at Swiss restaurant

This man has lost his f***ing mind... I HOPE HE SCREEN HIS DONORS FOR HIV AND OTHE INFECTIONS....YUCK!!!!!

Very interesting, my concern is you can pass HIV and HEP B through breastmilk. That is why even breastmilk banks have screenings

This is so ridiculous. Adults have been going this long without having breast milk in their diet, why would they go out of their way to spend a small fortune (after purchasing the milk and then screening it the restaurant will need to hike up prices to make a profit)? This is so dumb!!!!!

That has got to be one of the MOST UNSANITARY things I've heard of! How does this man know that the breast milk is coming from disease free, healthy women? I SERIOUSLY doubt that they bring in a health certificate, and what about desperate druggie types coming in and selling milk, like they do their blood at bloodbanks? This is a DISGUSTING practice and this guy should be closed down before he spreads disease!

Do they serve cookies with the breast milk?

If cows were susceptible to HIV our species would never use milk unless it were screened.People with a high fat level in their blood shoudn't worry about the consistency of breast milk unless they're unconcerned about becoming hyperlipidemic.Colostrum poses the same risk of infection as breast milk. To what extent will this gimmick affect the dairy industry if it becomes popular?

The first thing that comes to my mind is the fact that things like medications can be passed to babies through breast milk. How will these women, who donate, be monitored? What if an addict were selling their milk? (There are a lot of fucntioning addicts that don't LOOK like addicts!) Or, what if someone is on potentially dangerous prescription meds? And what about communicable diseases? I know HIV can be passed to babies through breast milk -- so how is he going to protect his customers from such things?

I think it's important for everyone to know that women are not the only dairy producers. The fact is that men can produce milk naturelly just like women, men have the same 2 hormones in them that are responsable for lactation the major one being prolactin they only need to be stimulated. Science magazine said males have always been able to lactate it's just been out of practice, wow so men do have nipples for a reason WOW! Why we don't here more about this is beyond me, just keep the women at it right how nice for them. It was never intended to be just the women equal partnership in it. Look up male lactation it's out there.
SEEK and FIND the TRUTH.

I agree that of course the milk should be screened for diseases and drugs and that I'd like to know how he'll do that (maybe a blood test to begin with and then test each donation, and not pay the contributor if it's not usable?), but since it does not say anywhere that he will NOT test, everyone who assumes he will not be testing is completely jumping to conclusions. Maybe he would use the same standards as breast milk banks, why would you assume that he won't? That said, I would not be interested in eating at the restaurant.

A little too strange for me. I would rather deal directly with the source.

you can transmit HIV through breast milk... NO THANKS!!

Perhaps the restaurant should use a "replica" to drink from. That should make the experience..."magnifique"!

breast milk is the best thing for babies but drinking it from someone you dont know and what diseases they may have is pretty stupid, thats dangerous

Well, health concerns aside as there are probably ways to ensure that the milk is safe if you are willing to pay the cost of screening and so on, I personally find it strange how many people instantly find the idea of consuming human milk, which most people already did at the start of their lives so disgusting and yet happily consume the milk of other species such as cows, goats, sheep, camels, buffalo, yaks and probably many more I can't think of at the moment.
I think that ultimately the cost of maintaining a safe product would ensure that this would be a very limited product in a commercial sense and therefore would never really take off; however I don't see why people get so put off and disgusted by the idea. Is it just a cultural thing? If there was a tribe out there in the Amazon or somewhere that used human milk in their cooking would we condemn them for it even if it was perfectly accepted in their culture? It is interesting to think of why so many people find the concept so immediately "wrong" in our culture. Heck I suppose you don't have to go back too far to a time when mothers were almost encouraged not to feed even their own babies human milk and instead substituted it with formula usually made from another species milk.
