Breast Milk's Surprising Health Benefits: More Than Just Baby Food?

Breast milk in coffee? A recent viral video sparked a discussion about the surprising health benefits of breast milk. The video shows a woman adding breast milk to her husband's coffee, prompting a doctor to explain the immune-boosting properties of breast milk. "Breast milk is packed with antibodies, especially IgA, which can protect against bacteria and viruses," said Dr. Myro Figura, MD, in the video. This is particularly crucial for newborns whose immune systems are still developing. The doctor emphasized that while this is beneficial for infants, more research is needed to understand the effects on adults. The video highlights the importance of breastfeeding for newborns and the ongoing research into the potential benefits of breast milk.
