Breastmilk information and thought something like, “Huh?” Or maybe something like, “well this certainly isn’t the kind of stuff that Tony talks about much. So I better find out what’s going on in that crazy cranium of his.” Am I right? C’mon, admit it. It’s OK.
Because breastmilk information ain’t exactly in my wheelhouse, as they say.
But I read a post on social media about breastmilk information that I found very interesting and not surprising. It was basically an article about what a woman found out after a long study on the subject. Here’s the first part of that article:
She thought she was studying milk but what she uncovered was a conversation.
In 2008, evolutionary anthropologist Katie Hinde was working in a primate research lab in California, analyzing breast milk from rhesus macaque mothers. She had hundreds of samples and thousands of data points. Everything looked ordinary. Until one pattern refused to go away.
Mothers raising sons produced milk richer in fat and protein.
Mothers raising daughters produced a larger volume with different nutrient balances.
It was consistent. Repeatable. And deeply uncomfortable for the scientific consensus.
Colleagues suggested error. Noise. Statistical coincidence.
Notice how so-called “scientists” suggest error.
And that’s because Katie’s information didn’t jive with random evolution. But she’s an evolutionary anthropologist. So even though the information was a little contrary to that worldview…
Katie trusted the data. And the data pointed to a radical idea. Milk is not just nutrition. It is information.
For decades, biology treated breastmilk as simple fuel. Calories in. Growth out. But if milk were only calories, why would it change depending on the sex of the baby? Katie kept digging.
Across more than 250 mothers and over 700 sampling events, the story grew more complex.
- Younger, first-time mothers produced milk with fewer calories but significantly higher levels of cortisol, the stress hormone.
- The babies who drank it grew faster.
- They were also more alert, more cautious, more anxious.
Milk wasn’t just building bodies.
It was shaping behavior.
Now, you and I might see that new information and and be thankful to and amazed by our awesome creator, God. But that’s because you and I are willing to see design and acknowledge how that inevitably points to a Designer. Should be common sense. But it just ain’t that way no more. As you will see in these next sections of the article…
Then came the discovery that changed everything.
When a baby nurses, microscopic amounts of saliva flow back into the breast. That saliva carries biological signals about the infant’s immune system. If the baby is getting sick, the mother’s body detects it.
Within hours, the milk changes.
- White blood cells surge.
- Macrophages multiply.
- Targeted antibodies appear.
- When the baby recovers, the milk returns to baseline.
This was not coincidence.
It was call and response.
A biological dialogue refined over millions of years. Invisible. Until someone thought to listen.
It’s just so weird how they can admit it’s not coincidence.
And how they can say it’s call and response, which requires intelligence. But then they have to insert their worldview and call it a “biological dialogue, refined over millions of years.” Totally bonkers. And even more bonkers when you see how Katie studied this breastmilk information even more and found out even more…
As Katie reviewed existing research, she noticed something unsettling. There were twice as many scientific studies on erectile dysfunction as on breastmilk composition, the first food every human consumes. The substance that shaped our species.
Largely ignored.
So she did something bold.
She launched a blog with a deliberately provocative name: Mammals Suck Milk.
It exploded. Over a million readers in its first year.
Parents. Doctors. Scientists. People asking questions research had skipped.
The discoveries kept coming.
Milk changes by time of day.
- Foremilk differs from hindmilk.
- Human milk contains over 200 oligosaccharides babies can’t digest because
- They exist to feed beneficial gut bacteria.
- And every mother’s milk is biologically unique.
In 2017, Katie brought this work to a TED stage. In 2020, it reached a global audience through Netflix’s Babies. Today, at Arizona State University’s Comparative Lactation Lab, she continues reshaping how medicine understands infant development, neonatal care, formula design, and public health.
The implications are staggering.
Milk has been evolving for more than 200 million years—longer than dinosaurs walked the Earth.
What we once dismissed as simple nourishment is one of the most sophisticated communication systems biology has ever produced.
Biology has ever produced?! Yeah right.
Katie Hinde didn’t just study milk.
She revealed that nourishment is intelligence.
A living, responsive system shaping who we become before we ever speak.
All because one scientist refused to accept that half the story was “measurement error.”
Sometimes the biggest revolutions begin by listening to what everyone else ignores.
Tragically, what evolutionary so-called scientists always ignore is how information and design require input from a designer. It’s not that they can’t see this logic. It’s that they won’t. Because that kind of logic always leads to the original Designer. And they move, certainly do not want to go there. Because that would require accountability for their actions in life. And the kind of accountability that you can’t blame on simple, evolutionary instinct and desires which are just delusional infatuation with a debunked worldview.
It’s really too bad. Because on the other side of Designer logic is the hope and reality of eternal life in paradise. I don’t know about you. But because of that open reality I’m willing to admit there IS a God and that I’m not him.
All Of Creation
All of creation points to the Savior.
We are all here by design.
All the environment and complex behavior…
The Glory of God makes it shine.
All of creation holds information…
Encoded within every cell,
All of the best minds in each generation
Won’t banish what Christians know well.
That…
(Chorus)
All of creation is here by the Word of God.
And all of creation mirrors His mind.
All of creation is saved by the Love of God
