Breast milk makes us stronger: The male athletes drinking an unlikely 'natural alternative' to energy supplements
By SADIE WHITELOCKS

A number of male athletes are apparently turning to human breast milk as a natural alternative to energy drinks.

Anthony, a 30-something athlete from Queens, New York, told NYMag.com that he's met 'a lot of guys' at different gyms who consume 'the good stuff'.

He typically buys the rich and creamy fluid online, from sites including Only the Breast and Human Milk 4 Human Babies, for about $2.50 an ounce. The fitness fanatic says that it gives him 'incredible energy'.

Addressing critics who may brand him 'weird', he continued: 'I don’t believe in steroids or other energy supplements, none of that garbage.

'I want natural stuff that’s God-given, and if it’s okay with moms looking to get rid of [the breast milk], I’ll take it.'

1. But can they do it at Olive Garden?

2. Better be careful if they they are drug-tested athletes.

Certain medications do pass through into breastmilk, although this problem is likely to be rare. There is no way of knowing if the donor is on a banned substance unless she discloses it. Or maybe it won't be a banned substance, but something that affects performance.

5. Do male athletes generate their own breast milk thanks to supplements or something else?
