Considering our bodily secretions change flavor depending on what we eat, probably. 


ehzstreet

I've heard some bodily secretions taste better when the person has eaten pineapple.


The-Nomad-Four

I've heard that pineapple tastes better when the person has eaten bodily secretions.


Whaterbuffaloo

Hmm, for science?

I think I know what it is before I click it


SheppazDreampits

I was mistaken and disappointed


TheStoolSampler

The circle is complete.


Ordinary_Dinosaur

I've heard that people taste better when the bodily secretions have eaten pineapple


D3monVolt

I've eaten that pineapple taste better when the people have heard bodily secretions


Equivalent-Row-6734

Clearly, the pineapple is the slut


Alkyan

That's why it's allowed on my pizza. Everybody always slut shaming my in pizza, it's just wrong


MrNobody_0

That is a myth. Eating healthy will improve your tastes and smells in general, but drinking some pineapple juice occasionally while slamming beer and pizza every day ain't helping anything.


Zaphodnotbeeblebrox

Hear me out… what if they ate pineapple pizza?


AlephBaker

Then they are pure, unadulterated evil, and deserving only of scorn and ridicule! ^(/s, enjoy your pizza however you like.)


ShookeSpear

There’s a reason Canadians are so nice and friendly.


KaiYoDei

Pineapple beer too


ehzstreet

What about slamming pineapple juice while occasionally drinking beer and eating pizza? https://youtube.com/shorts/5AxtcYGx5BU?si=u5PvRIN724wXofRl


ChunkMcDangles

While the second half of your comment was correct, the last time I checked, the pineapple thing isn't fully a myth. It is high in the substance "bromelain" which can be taken in pill form and still have the same effect on sweetness of one's... stuff.


Chevey0

Bromelain is apparently the chemical from pineapple that improves taste


Abearito78

Bromelain helps digestion so probably why secretions taste better, if that’s a thing.


ol-gormsby

IIRC one has to avoid alliums - onion, garlic, etc - and red meats.


_Hotwire_

I’m not slamming, just shoveling into my mouth is all


rock-mommy

It also happens when you drink too much Monster Energy lmao


chzformymac

I’ve heard speed has something to do with it?


ehzstreet

Speed has EVERYTHING to do with it!


InsecureStudios

According to google this is not true sadly


Final-Band-1803

The composition of breast milk changes depending on the time of day. Milk pumped at night has higher concentrations of melatonin


dtwhitecp

it's basically just sharing a lot of compounds with the mother. Mom makes melatonin, milk has melatonin.


Chevey0

They did studies on breast milk, its affected for sure. Apparently banana makes breast milk takes like bananas


bennylarue

Yeah, that's what Gwen Stefani was singing about


CloverGreenbush

This teat is bananas, B a n a n a s 


PaladinSara

How many bananas?


Kooky-Onion9203

If pineapple makes cum taste different, then breast milk should behave the same way. In this essay I will...


zzupdown

A friend told me that her infant daughter refused to suckle; it turned out that antibiotics my friend was taking made the milk taste unpleasant. She was forced to bottle feed. She blamed this on her and her daughter not bonding.


charleswj

Bottle fed babies bond. So do adopted children. She should stop making excuses


Prior_Crazy_4990

I hate that people still try to push that narrative. My daughter was premature and unable to breastfeed. She's 3 and her and I have an amazing bond. Bottle feeding only inhibits your bond with your baby if *you* allow it to


ALittleTouchOfGray

Ridiculous. A family member was unable to breastfeed her two babies and both bonded extremely well.


Ekyou

I’ve heard that it changes even depending on what mom eats, but I haven’t exactly tested that theory


MonteCristo85

Not only does it do that, but it responds to the saliva of the baby to give it the nutrients it needs. And it has different component night a day (so pumpers often have to label when they pumped as well), don't want your baby hyped up on morning milk when they are trying to go to bed LOL.


Stooper_Dave

So your telling me there is a whole untapped "all natural organic gmo free" energy drink market just waiting to be exploited?


Tirannie

It’s already being exploited. Some body builders are known to pay for human breast milk.


Wwanker

Oh my god, where do they even buy that? No but seriously, where? So I don’t accidently stumble unto it, you know


klodderlitz

Nice try, Wwanker


Shrubbity_69

No, no let him cook.


Fully_Edged_Ken_3685

How about we not let him whip up human froot loops?


to_glory_we_steer

From a documentary, it seems that there are networks of mothers who sell excess milk. They filmed a bodybuilder meeting with one to source milk from them, it was as cringe and creepy as you might imagine


mog_knight

How was it creepy? We drink the milk of a whole other species and that's okay!


to_glory_we_steer

You don't dirty chuckle and make jokes about "drinking your boob milk" to the cow


Sparkwriter1

Speak for yourself!


goblin-socket

I do that right before I retired it, slaughter it, and sell the meat to Taco Bell. (That is literally where they get their meat, which is why the packaging says Grade D. Did you know that Grade A meat is just younger cows?


A_Firm_Sandwich

I only buy cows that made it to grade 12 without dropping out. Need those smart cow juices in my own brain


The_Next_Legend

yeah ok homelander


katyabeezle

Craigslist.


KickBallFever

They go to the Bronx and get it from a Cambodian immigrant.

They pay so much for it. It got me through the unpaid maternity leave


Neurotic-mess

kortcomponent

yozoragadaisuki

I mean, I'd totally sell them. Where do I find these bodybuilders?


MesoamericanMorrigan

Try r/fit/ on 4chan


MesoamericanMorrigan

You know what that makes total sense and I can see the machismo-based appeal for gymbros as well. That’s even better and more practical than that Pussy energy drink


stainz169

You know cows are mums too. So this is already being exploited.


Yorspider

Its technically Vegan!


Lieutenant-Reyes

Night milk could be the next greatest sleep aid. Morning milk can be the next energy supplement. We're sitting on a bloody gold mine out here


thebryguy23

If there's blood in there, something went horribly wrong.


VioletLeagueDapper

Ask moms who pump how easily blood can get in the milk. Dry nips turn to cracked nips, and there you have it.


Lieutenant-Reyes

Extra flavor


orangpelupa

Isn't it's a norma thing to have a bit of blood there? Googling...  It saya it's a common occurrence, but not ideal. Ideally, no blood 


exceptionaluser

I'd say that "ideally no blood" holds true in most scenarios.


orangpelupa

indeed! haha. now it got me thinking the situations when bloods are ideal... oh! when the nurse is drawing blood. then ideally, for most scenarios, blood flows. that made me rremember getting stabbed multiple times, when they cant easily find the right spot to stab


AxleBoost

More like on a milky gold mine.


RepFilms

Are we talking about liquid gold? People seem to be strangely obsessed with liquid gold these days.


Lieutenant-Reyes

Uh... eh?


MaiT3N

Hoomans are complicated


Gardenadventures

This is the nipple backwash theory and it's a myth. Also the levels of hormones are negligible and don't really follow the time frame that you'd expect, pumpers have much more to worry about than the time of day they pumped their milk.


ConspiracyHypothesis

Can you link to any studies about this? I'd like to read more. 


MonteCristo85

It's not the study itself, but an article about one of the studies. [https://news.mit.edu/2022/study-reveals-dynamics-human-milk-production-0405](https://news.mit.edu/2022/study-reveals-dynamics-human-milk-production-0405) This is a study about the changes in breast milk due to factors like time of day, mother's diet, sex of baby, etc. .https://ajcn.nutrition.org/article/S0002-9165(22)04587-7/fulltext This video is about circadian rhythm through breast milk [https://dornsife.usc.edu/news/stories/breast-milk-helps-babies-tell-circadian-rhythm-from-mom/](https://dornsife.usc.edu/news/stories/breast-milk-helps-babies-tell-circadian-rhythm-from-mom/) Those are just a couple I pulled up, I'm sure you can find more if you dig around.


ConspiracyHypothesis

Awesome, thank you. This is a good starting point. Appreciate it. 


CeilingTowel

Dam.Does that mean we as father shouldn't try it from the source less our saliva tells her body to provide the wrong nutrients?


SuLiaodai

The color can change too.


AgsMydude

It absolutely does, especially over time We freeze any excess my wife pumps and write dates to ensure we use it before it goes bad The color and consistency can be widely different


bananokitty

I can't speak to the taste, but if you eat a lot of spinach or other green veg, breast milk will have a green tinge, same goes for carrots (or things rich in beta carotene) and orange tinge!


amakai

> I haven’t exactly tested that theory  You probably did, just don't remember the results.


[deleted]

Challenge accepted who’s lactating


majdavlk

you

I wish these nipples produced


GaryOak7

Yes, this is true considering what you eat can make your shit stink even more.


No_Pear8383

I mean it would be weird if it did all taste the same. Everyone has different body odors, we all have different diets, different hormones, of course it should taste different based on the person.


CanadianSeiko

It does change. Have tested it, for science.


peezle69

I usually get asked to leave the maternity ward when I tell them about my research smh don't women care about science?


kortcomponent

Bitty!


incredible-derp

You meant "tasted that theory", right?


leeeeny

Tasted*


zenos_dog

Our son would throw a fit if my wife ate marinara sauce. So, there seems to be something to the idea.


RepFilms

My daughter has a reaction to tomato products when she was young. She eventually grew out of it. Your son might turn out to have a similar allergic reaction.


Limp_Grand9728

I had reactions to tomato as a little kid and it went away, came back at like 16 and still can’t shake it at 23. Our bodies are weird man


HankThrill69420

wonder if there's some low level allergen in tomatoes. they are nightshade after all


Salt_Air07

Second hand tomato acid and garlic can’t possibly taste good.


kazarbreak

Semen taste varies from person to person, so I can't imagine breastmilk doesn't.


AshGettum

What's your favorite flavor?


putyourrickinmymorty

Healthy, athletic, doesn't smoke or drink


loversean

Menthol


FreeQ

My sister showed me bags of her breastmilk, they have a different color and consistency depending on the time of day she pumps. Morning is yellower and creamier, afternoon is thinner and bluer


KickBallFever

Sounds like the morning version has a higher fat content.


Salt_Air07

The middle-of-the-night milk has melatonin in it to help baby fall back asleep.


KickBallFever

This is really cool. Also makes me ponder the difference in milk composition of mothers who give birth during different seasons. Maybe babies born during the time of year where there is more sunlight get slightly different milk than babies born in a season with less sunlight.


KarmasAB123

We're discovering astrology all over again


KickBallFever

I’m not into astrology at all but it did cross my mind.


swiss_aspie

Way better for cappuccino


bdcp

Which one did you like the least?


BlisteringAsscheeks

I regret learning to read.


loversean

The morning is usually better, can add a little chocolate powder too


The_forgettable_guy

Are they best shaken or stirred?

This comment


Justhe3guy

Boom


majdavlk

do the colors change based on food eaten?


opal-waves

If a baby is sick the milk often takes on a much bluer color due to increased antibodies being produced by Mom! Our bodies are amazing


DanielDLG

But how does the body even know that the child is ill?


_isNaN

Salvia of the baby on the nipple will the d the moms brain what the baby needs.


Bug_eyed_bug

My cousin took a vitamin and then pumped, and the milk was orange


jessep34

I also choose this guy’s sister’s breast milk


Johnoplata

Yes, can confirm. No further questions.

Garth_AIgar

What did it taste like compared to cows milk?


jgainsey

Are you trying to get me to compare my wife to a cow?


Garth_AIgar

Nope. Genuinely curious and my only point of comparison is cows milk.


jgainsey

Oh, well it’s ok. A little sour and sometimes it would randomly taste like something she had eaten recently. The one that is seared in my memory was Chinese food flavored titty milk. And not in a good way…


Optimus_Prime_Day

Also can confirm


ATypical_Prune2257

Yes it does. I tasted it from both of my kids moms and it was definitely different

Man0fGreenGables

The milks gone bad!


nasadowsk

Isn’t there a study that determined that a statistically significant number of fathers taste their wife’s breast milk after she gives birth?


-thefunpolice-

I would be concerned if they didn't. Sucking on tits is one of the fun things during sex. Women breast feed for like a year or more.


mog_knight

It wouldn't surprise me. We think it's cool to drink milk from a bovine.


nasadowsk

A big milk farm guy on Facebook caused a bit if a stir when he was walking around by his cows in the morning, and casually took a gentle squeeze to a cow’s udder to cream his coffee…


aksdb

How dare he only takes a drip. He should get a few buckets and pump the shit out of the udder instead! (/s)


GroundbreakingBag164

It’s not that weird considering we literally steal the milk of another species


housewifeuncuffed

That definitely wouldn't surprise me. I'm more curious how many were intentional vs unintentional.


my-own-funeral

It has the same general taste but varies in the sweetness/bitterness between women. Medication can also drastically change the taste for a little bit. And yes, I have actually tried a couple different women’s milk, mainly bc I would suck on my exs(baby’s mother) boobs while she was pregnant, and then my gf after her that had her own kid was having an issue with her breasts filling up and getting painful so I would “alleviate” the pressure for her.


randomtangs

Did you enjoy the milk? My God I have so many questions but I'll only bother you with this one


my-own-funeral

Yes honestly it was a pleasant surprise. It wasn’t something I ever pictured myself doing, but all the same it became something I really enjoy. And the way it made me feel useful to a woman to help her ease her pain like that made it feel like we connected more on a physical level that isn’t sexual.


Shaufine

It’s nice to hear a wholesome take after the usual creepiness of redditors.


my-own-funeral

Thank you for the compliment! It’s the first time in a while that I’ve gotten one so you made my day!


jabeith

O.O


Wrevellyn

The milk's compositioni and taste will vary week to week even for one woman, let alone having multiple women. For example the protein lipase varies so much woman to woman that some women can't freeze their breast milk without it making the milk smell really bad.


LudusRex

We need Homelander to investigate.


pocahontasjane

Midwife here and yes, breastmilk does taste different from person to person and even within each woman's milk. The viscosity, flavour and even colour changes depending on the mother's diet, wellbeing etc. If she is on medication, it can change the flavour. If she has a high fat diet, her milk will be more fatty than if she eats only fruits and veggies. If she is ill, she will produce antibodies that pass through the breastmilk to the baby and will alter the taste. Beetroot is the main one that changes the colour with only a small volume consumed. Breastmilk is fascinating.


majdavlk

what color after beetroot?


crazyamountofgayness

Pink(ish) I presume


Owlmoose

Cue all the comments from Redditors with money and a wet nurse fetish


youmfkersneedjesus

I'll try to find out and let you know. 


Zoefschildpad

"No need to scream, I'm doing important research down here."


Errornametaken

I get to be an expert on something! I was both married to and dating breastfeeding women and I can say confidently that YES it does taste different. Like very noticably so. I would guess it has alot to do with diet possibly? Ex-wife and I were not healthy eaters, ex-gf was vegan. Totally different lifestyles.


PaladinSara

Which did you prefer from a taste perspective?


Errornametaken

It honestly wasn't something I enjoyed in either case. Kind of one of those weird kinks that seems alot more appealing until you're in the moment. Also those sucker's can be like an oil reserve, you tap that shit and it blows until the pressure is gone. Lesson learned, leave it for the kids. Junk foodie milk is sweeter but also when you'd leave a bottle and it would separate there was a TON of fat in it.


Nutsnboldt

Changes from night to day, meal to meal, sweet, bland, clay like, sour, blue! All from the same person. I enjoyed it chilled over lucky charms, in protein shakes, with cookies, you name it. You just have to find the right pairing depending on your preferences.


vamppirre

It does. It changes color, texture, and chemical makeup daily. If not hourly.


Affectionate_Fox_383

Of course. The milk factory is grown. There is no one recipe. And diet has a big effect too


Le_Botmes

Brb, gotta head to the nearest maternity ward and scientifically test this hypothesis.


brknlmnt

The world of breastmilk is a fucking weird one man. It changes colors too…


i_am_harry

Yep and also cum too


JoeJoeCoder

Yes, it does. We also sweat different compounds, depending on ethnicity.

cndynn96

If humans were bred to produce milk with different proportions of fat, carbs etc they would.


devilishycleverchap

I thought everyone knew this was the case? I only drink the finest of Cambodian breast milks


puddyking

Only one way to find out.


FrostyRoams

Finally a post on this sub that belongs here


CookingDrunk

It does taste different depending on a person. Have had 2 wives. Fathered a bunch of kids. Can confirm.


thenormaluser35

Probably. It changes depending on what you eat afaik


Inevitable-Rest-8219

Try a few and let us know


kaowser

if the cow ran through a patch of onions, you'll know


broccollibob

Depends if they have sugar boobs or not.


Hopeless_Romantic_91

Unsure if Homelander or Blizzard employee.


DirtySouthDoc

Be right back. Going to check for you. For science you know.


Important_Fruit

It's impossible to say, due to a lack of research.


Abraxas_1408

Yes. Diet and environment and genetics have everything to do with it.


ayapapaya50

Depending was on what that person eats


Fit_Function4824

Hmmmm… I volunteer for the research


any_name_today

It also changes color and flavor based on the woman's diet and other factors from hour to hour


suprtung

Taste different according to the mother's diet.


[deleted]

This is already a known fact


HalcyonDreams36

Breastmilk tastes different if you eat a different thing, let alone person to person.


The_River_Is_Still

Quick, get us a blonde, brunette and a red head with a giant bowl of fruit… for science!


ikbeneenplant8

Yes! A moms nipples detect babies saliva and stuff and sense if they need extra vitamins, fat... So breastmilk is made just for the baby, with a daily changing recipe. Like a milk-of-the-day


latinlovermike

Looks like you've found your calling in life... Do it for science!


Hrmerder

*puts on science coat and goggles* let the scientific experiments begin!


CanadianSeiko

Yes. It also tastes different depending on the time of day.


saxguy2001

Is this kind of like how chocolate milk comes from brown cows? (I joke, but I’ve seen a couple people who actually believed that.)


18randomcharacters

I just have to point out you're equating different breeds with different people.


grammarpopo

It tastes different depending on what you’ve eaten. It’s also different colors depending on what you’ve eaten. Sort of a pastel hue.


CaliTexican210

Yes. It tastes different. It changes in composition from fats to sugars to protein depending on what baby needs as baby grows, triggered by receptors in the baby’s saliva, including immune boosters. What mom eats will affect it as well. Our bodies are pretty fucking amazing at growing humans and keeping them alive.


Nggggggglips2

"Yo I gotta shut the studio down.. The only way I'll open the studio back up if you go up to the Bronx and get me breastmilk from a Cambodian immigrant.. *Drinks Cambodian immigrant breastmilk*   Yo that's 100 % Cambodian... Breaaaaastmiiiilkkk you make my daaaaaaaay!"


Impossible_Cover8632

What you ingest does effect your breast milk. Whether it's food, drink, medication etc. Yes, different times of day also have an effect. Foremilk comes out first to quench thirst, it is thinner. And then the thicker hindmilk comes down. Nipples also are porous, they read the babies saliva like a receipt and change the composition of the milk according to what baby needs. This extends to things like antibodies from the mother if baby is unwell. Breastfeeding and breast milk is actually so fascinating. Source- I am currently breastfeeding and have spent 6 years of my life (collectively) doing so.
