The First Language — A Sip of The Memory of Milk (PDF)

Before there were words, there was milk, and milk speaks. This chapter reads human milk as the body’s first language: HMOs, microRNAs, lactoferrin, the microbes it seeds and the tone of safety it sets, with a sidebar on the five messages milk sends. It ends on a line worth keeping: recognition is the mother tongue of physiology.
