"Breastmilk is an evolutionary food. It has helped humans succeed in inhospitable places, during traumatic times, and in habitats that would not otherwise have been possible. None of us would be here if it weren’t for breastmilk."
Laurel Wilson has spent a quarter of a century dedicated to families, and more specifically, to the advancement of the human milk as a foundational part of human health. This TEDx Talk synthesizes her decades of experience in the lactation world to illuminate how breastmilk has helped to evolve human beings.
