For hundreds of years, women's milk had no analogues in terms of the content of components important for the baby. But the Chinese, who, as you know, can fake anything, have solved this problem. Scientists from The Celestial Empire has bred a breed of cows whose milk does not differ from human milk.

Chinese scientists have been experimenting with Goldstein cow embryos for many years and they managed to introduce human proteins into them. Embryos with human DNA were placed in cows, which became surrogate mothers for them.

Cloning technologies were used in the process of working on embryos. Therefore, the cows that were born gave milk, the characteristics of which correspond to the human as much as possible. Biologists believe that when the method is fully studied, such milk can be used for breastfeeding infants.

The report of Chinese biologists says that milk is not just indistinguishable in taste from human. It also corresponds to it in all biochemical parameters. The benefits of the new product have also been proven — milk proteins are able to increase the child's immunity. The content of fat and solids in it was also quite consistent.

While experimental milk is given by several laboratory cows. But its creators assure that it will soon appear in stores. The new product will help mothers who have problems with lactation. Today, these women have few alternatives — they use artificial mixtures for feeding.
