This is a lovely urban myth, but what is factually true is that Pasteur had a "bitter rivalry" with a man named Antoine Bechamp who wrote an outstanding series of books dismantling Pasteur's quack science (Pasteur literally believed milk went sour because it was "attacked" by pathogens whereas the truth is milk contains lactic acid from the get-go, which is the catalyst for fermentation aka souring).

Sadly, there are no Bechamp institutes, and nobody remembers who he is, today.

Sam: I knew that Pasteur took credit for Bechamp's work. Pasteurization has a big downside. HEAT destroys the enzymes in food and lowers. Plus, milk was designed by our Creator for baby calves destined to grow 500 pounds during their first nine months of life. It was the first food of the Bovine species, before teeth emerged. Human milk..designed for the first year to increase an infant of our species 14 pounds. Humans are not supposed to nurse on the milk of another species as infants or adults. There is no logic used!

The closest milk to humans is goats, I have never understood why formula is not made from goats milk.

There’s little point saying humans shouldn’t be given milk from animals if the mother is unable to make enough milk to feed her baby, we need an alternative but it also should be the best available.

My friend tried desperately to feed her two babies but could never produce enough no matter what she tried or did.
