A North Carolina expert said a blogger attempting to subsist entirely on his wife's breast milk is unlikely to find any nutritional benefits.

The blogger, who identifies himself only as Curtis on donthaveacowcurtis.blogspot.com said his first child was born nine months ago and his wife has an extensive supply of frozen breast milk from the births of the infant girl and her two previous children. "I mean cow milk was made for baby cows, why not drink human breast milk that was made for baby humans," Curtis wrote in his first post.

The blogger's Thursday post informed readers he was on his third day of the diet and he has "had no problems with BMs, mostly because I haven't had one yet." Curtis said he is aiming to find out how long he can live strictly off the breast milk and document any benefits he discovers.

However, Martin Binks, clinical director of Binks Behavioural Health in Durham, N.C., said breast milk is unlikely to benefit Curtis, as humans experience changing dietary needs as they grow. "While babies' digestive systems and nutritional needs are provided for in such a diet, as we develop into adulthood, our nutritional needs evolve in such a way that we need a balance of nutritional foods for good health, including fibre," Binks said. "Breast milk cannot provide all we, as adults, need nutritionally and, in fact, has very high levels of cholesterol."

I haven't bothered reading the blog myself so I'm not sure if he's only living on breast milk or just substituting it for cows milk. If anybody can be bothered to find out please feel free to let us know.

Then, as supplies were running low, Curtis found salvation...
