Re: Re: References regarding saturated fats and Cholesterol in human milk.

While the composition of either milk can (and does) vary during the nursing

period, The USDA database lists..

Whole Cows Milk as 49% Fat and 31% Saturated Fat

Human Milk as 56% Fat and 26% Fat.

So, percentage wise, it is higher in total fat but actually lower in % Sat Fat

than Cows milk.

But, I still dont see the relevance in how the composition of the Milk of a

species should influence what an Adult of the same species should eat. After

all, Human Milk is EXTREMELY LOW in fiber, actually has no fiber, yet no one

would recommend a human adult consume a fiber-less diet.

Right,

Since human fat would be influenced by the food eaten, I don't see that USDA could accurately show what human fat SHOULD be. Vegetarians probably have a diff FA profile.

Also, regardless of what someone evolved as, it has little to do with what is the correct diet to live to 100 yo now. I don't think the paleos worked that problem.

Point out that ffmilk and whey are nutritious products, which can raise metabolism and cause weight loss comparing constant calories diets. Controlling that excess protein, I think is necessary to keep metab LOW for longer lifespan. There is a case for determining exactly the right mix, to avoid using protein for energy.
