Previous research demonstrated a link between short duration of breast-feeding and alcoholism in men, Dr. Holger J. Sorenson and colleagues at Copenhagen University and the US examined this relationship in a larger cohort that included women and took into account other environmental and familial factors."

Demand for breast milk has hit a 20-year high in the United States, causing some experts to worry that desperate women who can't afford to buy expensive milk to nurse their babies will turn to the Internet, where mother's milk is sold cheap and without regulation.
At $3 an ounce -- about $100 a day -- many moms can't afford to buy from a regulated milk bank, but with a few clicks they can find it for as little as $1 an ounce. Diseases such as HIV and hepatitis can be transmitted through untreated breast milk.
'Buyers should beware that they may even be getting goat's milk from somebody who just wants to make money. That's what's dangerous,' said Lois D.W. Arnold, who teaches at Healthy Children Project in East Sandwich.
