British experts, on Thursday in London, warned that the growing online craze of buying and drinking human breast milk, among some fitness communities, fetishists and chronic disease sufferers, poses serious health implications. The human breast milk was being traded via websites in a lucrative market for adult buyers.

A Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, said there was little evidence to support claims, that the milk has any kind of super food that can boost health, fitness and ward off disease. Experts said the claims that it assisted with erectile dysfunction and cancer, have no clinical basis.
They warned that such raw and unpasteurised human breast milk can expose consumers to many serious infectious diseases, including hepatitis, HIV and syphilis. Sarah Steele, a Specialist at the Global Health and Policy Unit, Queen Mary University of London, said it was also potentially very hazardous, if used to replace a healthy balanced diet.

She said nutritionally, there was less protein in human breast milk than other milks like cow’s milk. “Potential buyers should be made aware that no scientific study evidences that direct adult consumption of human milk for medicinal properties offers anything more than a placebo effect.
“Failure of women to sanitise properly when producing milk, failure to sterilize equipment properly, and improper or prolonged storage and transportation of milk can also expose consumers to bacterial food-borne illnesses. “While many online mums claim they have been tested for viruses during pregnancy, many do not realise that such screening needs to be undertaken regularly,” she said.

Steele warned that sexual and other activities may expose the women to viruses that they may unwittingly pass on to consumers.

The need to further consult and calm frayed nerves has been adduced as reasons why the leadership of the All Progressives Congress shelved a meeting scheduled to hold in Abuja on Tuesday.

It was learnt that some of the party leaders who were still sore about the outcome of the National Assembly leadership elections, are yet to agree to sit on the roundtable with individuals they claimed stabbed them in the back.

A member of the party caucus who pleaded anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue said, “You expect me to sit with people who for their selfish interests connived with the opposition to deny our party what is due to it?

“We need time for the wounds to heal. You must also understand that the comment of Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso which is in the papers today, has not helped matters.”

It was further learnt that as part of the consultations before a wider meeting would be called, President Muhammadu Buhari met with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the party’s National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, and the Nasarawa State Governor, Alhaji Tanko Al-Makura, at his private residence in Abuja on Thursday.

When contacted, the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, denied knowledge of any scheduled caucus or Board of Trustees meeting.

He told The PUNCH, “I am not aware of any meeting scheduled for Abuja, today (Tuesday), I only know that the Governors Forum is meeting tomorrow (Wednesday).

It will be recalled that Al-Makura had on Sunday told newsmen in Lafia, that party leaders would meet in Abuja, on Tuesday to deliberate on the challenges facing the party.
