- Breast milk grows babies' bodies, fuels neurodevelopment, provides essential immunofactors and safeguards against famine and disease -- why, then, does science know more about tomatoes than mother's milk? Katie Hinde shares insights into this complex, life-giving substance and discusses the major gaps scientific research still needs to fill so we can better understand it.

Nursing did take an immense amount of my time but I was grateful for the peaceful bonding time I had with my babies even though the nursing time was mandatory. I nursed them until they were toddlers.
I remember my mom told me that "nursing is uncouth". I had absolutely no support but it was one of the best things I've done.
When I was born, my mother wanted to breastfeed. Since her own mother never did so, the Lactation specialist of the hospital came to see her. My mother was build to breastfeed. She had enough milk to feed three baby of my size. And still, she wasn't able to feed me. It's only when her sister-in-law showed her what to do that everything finally worked out. It turned out that the so call specialist the hospital had send to her had never even breastfed herself and that almost none of her patients were able to. Yet the hospital employed her, forgetting what was their actual role. We certainly need more baby friendly hospitals.
Hey, you, the one angry about the intro and the presentation about this video, please watch the full video before leaving a comment that shows you're displeased with it. It's actually very informative and interesting
Why are so many people judging this woman just because she said some feminist things? When did that become wrong? Every struggle she said is real, she's not making mothers look like victims , she's just arguing as someone who knows all the scientific stuff and has probably gone through this situation too.
I think because people can sense when a thing is said on a public stage for applause and acceptance versus when it's an actual belief. And given it's a science talk...it seemed a little subjective (even though it should be a widely held belief) when I think people expect scientists to separate objectivity from subjectivity. But I agree...she was great! It was a great talk. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't roll my eyes at some lines that tried to be a little too culture changing
Honestly she makes plenty of good points, in terms of a need for infrastructure and in terms of the science of this issue. Just because the talk is about an issue involving women doesn't make it feministic or bullshit. It's actually a great TED talk with a ridiculous amount of hate directed towards it by people who probably didn't even finish watching it. >.....>
Topic is good and actually extremely important (we all want healthy kids, don't we?). But the presentation was not so nice. The underliners were quite offensive towards men for no reason. And that sucks!
And at the end she finally explains why she made the beginning so bad. America has to fix a lot of health related problems though, especially what time, money and career is concerned.
Infant nutrition and breast feeding are not woman's issues alone. These are human issues. All of us benefit from the proper nurture of all our children. Can anyone seriously argue otherwise? No.
I think we also agree that the fundamentals supporting society are a part of the commons and should be supported by all. Roads, water, disease control, education, defense are ready examples. Health and welfare should be as well if we all benefit from them. Paid family leave, day care, and universal health care are as important as applying science to mother's milk. But mother's milk and infant nutrition are low hanging fruit. We can start there.
Starlord The Emperor of Infinity!
well, cooperations involved in synthetic baby formulas usually do pay for research like this, that or the government.
Food science is big right now, and although breast milk isn't your typical food product there is growing research and a number of groups who are interested to fund It.
+Starlord, my simple response is to ask how are they paid for now by countries that implement them?
But more generally, I am saying these stand in the same position as other common goods. Thus they would be paid for in the same way. It would be a combination of taxes and fees. Now some would counter that we can't afford it. My rebuttal is that we already pay the cost, but we pay in terms of environment, health, life span, and quality of life. It is time to recognize that narrowly defined notions of profit are no longer acceptable. Nor is profit the appropriate measure of all things.
+Starlord That is a lame and shortsighted response. Best you can do?
+Starloard, my point is that there are some things that go beyond the individual. They are part of the common good, the commonweal. They are paid for out of the commons. I gave plenty of examples. I think it's pretty safe to say that no one argues with this concept. (Well, maybe a few libertarians on the fringe would.) I go on to argue that children and family are also a common good.
For you to say "people need to take responsibility" is non-responsive. It's not even in the zip code of my point. It feels like a knee-jerk response that suggests you didn't read or didn't understand what I said. I suppose the latter is on me, if that's the case.
+Starlord By the same token you espouse, I should not pay taxes to pay for the military to protect markets of corporations in which I don't invest, or schools my kids don't go to, or roads I do not travel, or churches given tax breaks that I do not attend.
We already research breast milk way more than you'd think, we just haven't done it in the US until recently. I've designed breast pumps as an engineer and was part of a team that launched a milk bank in the US and part of that included reviewing and participating in breast milk research. If you're interested in learning more, or seeing what the most cutting edge research tells us, I'd start with research done at the University of Western Australia from Dr. Hartmann's team. Will straight up blow your mind.
I do interesting about it
Bc one of my friend had prion disease for 10 years now his secret👉 he told me colostrum only thing help some part
But i think human milk might be powerful please do research about it
okay, Man.
Thank you ❤️
In Saudi Arabia, mothers can enjoy 4 months paid parental leave after any delivery.
This hits home for me and so many other parents. There is so much stigma and bias for breastfeeding in the US. Nearly no parents get paid time off and only get 3 months before having to come back to work IF they've worked a year. Breastfeeding is a full time job. I, like a rare few, am a mom who exclusively pumped breastmilk to give it to my baby because she was born with a lip tie which prevented her from getting a decent latch and insurance wouldn't cover a surgical procedure to fix the issue of course because the US doesn't see the importance of it. And I know many men who lactated once their babies were born yet they wouldn't breastfeed because in our close-minded country, men don't do that. Breastfeeding is very undervalued and I agree that it is unacceptable.
6 weeks. That’s it. That’s all they legally have to give u.
The first month after my daughter was born I had the same struggle for not be able to feed her the way I'd like to. Both my nipples were badly bruised and the supply was minimal. Nothing from the nurses really worked and I could only power through myself. I agree we need more studies on breastfeeding it's got nothing to do with feminism, it's about protecting your wives and children.
i watched this.. and i still dont know what we dont know. :(
answer: too much
that's the point - how important it is, and the devastating lack of information about it. the lack of information that fresh women are provided with. also how little importance the whole topic is given in general, which also plays in other ways where young mothers (needlessly) struggle.
Back in ancient times breastfeeding information was passed down from mother to mother in the village. Women grew up seeing breastfeeding done and knew the basics of it.before giving birth and what they didn't know, they learned from their friends and experienced family members. We need to bring back the village community setting. We are strongest together. We can make a difference in each other's lives individually just by being present and sharing our knowledge.
I feel like TED should start giving trigger warning for talks given by women, or about women. I see too many triggered tough guys in these comments.
Was that a joke to rid men from the TED audience completely?
Dookie6891 just the little boys who run away.
Right???
Haha I love it how easily triggered the anti-feminists and anti-SJW are! :P Even when the discussion is nowhere near feminism or social justice. ^^
Did you just assume that everyone who got triggered or did not like the video, are men? Now that's sexist
What about fraternal twins? like one boy ,one girl? what is the chemical copostion look like
Yes, breast feed for smarter, healthier kids!
I'd expect this type of ratio of likes to dislikes for a video on a topic like feminism but why this one? It feels like people are just automatically clicking the dislike button as soon as they see a video that is anything to do with women or the genuine issues they face. This video is hardly harmful feminist propaganda (although I have to say I don't agree with everything being said), it's just very informative on an issue I'm sure not many of us have thought about.
It's often the presentation rather than the information given that is the key factor of which people will rather decide on. And interesting topic in of itself since the results are quite amazing in how you can trick people and also how stupid we are when it comes to think critically, but I digress.
She does present something that is actually interesting and personally I don't think this is a "Women's issue" and that it's just a sad way of presenting it. As if that should matter more or less because of it and that it needs to be seen as such except if you are trying to pander to women, since this is in fact it's an issue about child development. I think that is one thing that turns people off when it sounds more like a mantra about delusional Girl power message wrapped in vague comparative statistics that says nothing more than what she wants it to when it is an actual issue and an interesting one at that from a standpoint of even just curiosity.
It's all semantics really but I agree that presenting it as a child development issue would be better. Although I'd have to argue that, when it comes to the 3rd world and the mothers and children there, you'd really have to make use of charities that advocate women's rights to get much done in the way of educating them about breast milk (Days for Girls or Women on Wings) and so pushing this issue as one that women face could be quite useful. As for the vague statistics, if you look at the charts it's pretty clear what's being shown, I just don't think the statistics prove as much as the speaker was letting on (I'd need more information to be satisfied really, something I can hardly expect to be included in a short Ted talk).
Starlord.... Fair enough if you think a) those things are true and b) you've watched the video. I'm not going to sit here and argue about what I think people should find offensive. I was more calling out the people who disliked the video before they'd watched any of it (that's just ignorance). I've come to expect it on videos more obviously linked to social justice but the title of this video hardly screams 'crazy SJW spews feminist bullshit'. If I can manage to watch one of Milo's videos (spoiler: I'm not a massive fan of his but I do find him very interesting) before deciding whether or not to dislike it, I'd expect most people to be able to do the same here.
Starlord... I agree that over politicising everything is a bad move but like most issues (global warming ect.) if we don't link them to politics at least a little then how can we expect to get government funding? (All I'm saying is that we should aim to make it in politicians best interests to help and labelling this as an issue 50% of the population face would do that, we don't have to go full propaganda with it though)
Starlord... fair enough, if everyone did that (doubt it but I have no way of knowing) then I completely retract my complaints (personally, I wouldn't spend my time waiting for the TH-cam release just so I could dislike a video but each to their own).
Every Mother should teach their children the importance of Breast feeding, maybe if new mother's stopped having whispered in their ears that "Your baby isn't getting enough! You should put them on formula..." I was riddled with guilt when I was looking for help and support as a new mother 27 years ago at the age of 20..... Nurse's can't all help breastfeeding mom's! Do they really have the time and do they have any real experience in the department? lol. Experience and Empathy is a great start! Mom's should coaching new mother's and I would volunteer for the job....
this makes tons of sense. those who think otherwise are missing the point. political yes, she is taking about humanity from its starting point.
what she noticed about pregnancy articles at the national library of medicine in 03:40 is that we know twice much about ED more than about breast feeding is giving us a hint or a clue that our civilization is targeting consumers
No idea where she lives, but every hospital and nutritionist recommend breast milk and can and will list lots of benefits that has been proven by many researchers.
The problems she's talking about are all due to the lack of awareness of the public due to their own lack of interest, and the small amount of articles about breast milk, is because it's benefits had already been proven and tested also it is harder topic to research on (at least compared to coffee and tomato) and it's harder to get funds for it.
This talk did not explain to me what we don't know about breast milk, and spent little time talking about what we need to find out about breastmilk or what most people don't know about breastmilk.
What she doesn't know is that breast milk contains natural endocannabinoids.
Katie, food is information! Milk is information xx
Robin Chipman as katie is also my name, it slightly freaked me out as I was scrolling through comments hah!
HappyMaskSalesman you must have been like "you talking to me fam" but that's rare but it's funny
What we don't know about mother's milk is the level of glyphosate residues. Sad. Believe me.
Are you researching this topic?
Are you currently researching? I'd so, do you have any new information that you could share? The only journal articles I could find on this indicated very low levels in very few samples. Do you believe the glyphosate makes breast milk risky to consume?
Yes, I am. The reason some 'scientifically' found few or even nothing is, that they worked with a totally made up and very high limit of detection. You don't see things on the horizon if you raise the telescope straight up to the sky. Glyphosate is risky to consume to any mammals. But the right answer is not to stop breastfeeding, because its found in even higher levels in formula as well. And recently they found up to 94.9 ng/ml in the umbilical cord serum and in the serum of a fetus. So the contamination itself starts even earlier. Taking to account that we have found glyphosate in 7 of 10 of our urine-samples all over Germany, Switzerland and Austria and given the fact, that we found residues in the urine of a breastfed-only baby chances to avoid a contamination are really low. Eat organic, test your water, and stay on breastfeeding. You don't see, taste or smell glyphosate residues in formula. But a mother does know what she eats...
The main problem with glyphosate contamination of babies is that glyphosate inhibits the formation of synapses, so we take literally a 'bright future' from them - but there are lot problems more.
If you need to know more try to contact me over my yt-channel.
just had baby number 7
my eldest is 21 had her at 16
breastfed them all
AINT NOTHING LIKE THE REAL THING
AMEN
please stop
STFU
Did you know? Humans like ice cream because it tastes like human milk.
Oh dear no maternity leave in the US! There's at least 14 days here in my country for that. Even for paternal leave. I wish that part of the legislation improves.
Yes and the price to have a baby is 15000 paid by the citizen who has the child at minimum. Might I add that when we get leave it's unpaid . Been on unpaid leave for 3 months after my son was born. Great for things like insurance and my husband. The dad has two weeks unpaid too
I feel like I am doing my part in changing the problems on breast pumping journeys. I have been sizing moms nipples since 2017 and changing how companies and LCs size. Most recently launched my own inserts designed to help moms with elastic nipples and flat nipples. I will be coming out with my own rulers next week with Pumping Pretty: A Breast Pumping Success System that moms can help themselves from the comfort of their own home.
Back,in the late eighties,I gave birth to a healthy baby in the third year of married life.Milk wasn't coming easy with the First Born.A nurse took me out on the corridor of the hospital,made me lean against the wall,and warned me,pain was coming and grabbed my right breast squeezing it badly! Crucial in both my baby's and my life! No complications at birth,very bad consequences of the forced breast.Milk did come,along with an inflammation.After a month,I had to stop breastfeeding.Antibiotics followed for me and sleepless nights for the family,until my child got used to the formula.
He's a healthy man,now, generally,in early childhood he , however,suffered from bronchitis for years.
Now,I'm closer to sixty than fifty and still wake up with severe pain in my right side of the body.I did medical check-up.Was to recuperating facilities.They eased my pain.Never the horror of those early days of "breast feeding". Something broke in me!
Iv honestly NEVER heard the saying "breast milk is free"
I've read that all over. It's false mostly because the mother has to consume more calories.
What we do know about Mothers Milk: it was a fantastic early record by The Red Hot Chili Peppers 🌶
So, we're pretty sure breast milk is really important, but we don't know for sure yet how important. Someone should do something about it. You don't need 10 minutes to say that. This could have been a lot more informative.
Woooooh!! Arizona State University!! I'm a Wildcat (University of Arizona), but I'll still support- haha. Nice talk!
I was adopted, and my mom is just as natural as anyone else
Women thought that they are being economically free... This turned out the beginning of greatest injustice towards them... Earn yourself and then feed you and yours babies on your own, making men free and enjoy life however they like... If women is designed to give birth, lactate infants then she should have opportunity to do that as well... Bringing them up later is also their right .. they SHOULD have legal excess to all this... In whichever country they live.
This just goes to prove that anything that even has the balls to say "Hey, women might actually be important too" gets the anti-feminism troll squad raiding the video
Three minutes of interesting information about breast milk, and six minutes of virtue signaling.
Interesting talk. Nicely done. However, women are awesome (period)!! Good mothers should be considered for sainthood.
wow love the way that she delivers her idea. i have disagrement on only one thing that how promoting such important cause may creat misconception or why she is not focusing on spreading this message in the public.
I have questions :
1. [suppose babies are orphaned at birth they too need milk ] then can human milk be artificially prepared (I mean with latest tech and research 😕)
2. isn't H2O2 harmful if consumed
H202 is unless in low amounts. eg. there is cyanide in apple seeds but as long as you don't have too many you won't even notice a downside.
An emotional topic for me and many women. I had a less than ideal experience and I blame the lack of education and support that was offered to me.
So sorry for your experience ☹
I am sure that either way, your little one has and is growing up to be a thriving young being💛
It's also a really great RHCP album
please define 'baby friendly hospital'
Stephen Catton ....she did....
nope ... she didn't... as far as I know all hospitals when run by their own code of practice and have a maternity unit, are baby friendly. Some hospitals slip up and are prosecuted but that isn't the point she was making
@@scatton61 hospitals that support natural childbirth (as opposed to unnecessary c-sections), skin-to-skin contact, and breastfeeding as the primary source of nourishment, are considered baby-friendly. They usually also spend a fair amount of time and resources on helping the mother understand how to breastfeed properly. There are hospitals who don't care to inform the parents about the benefits of breast milk, or don't offer lactation consultants, and many that have deals with formula brands so push those products on new parents.

Ahh yes I agree.
xxuncexx You perfectly summarised this video well done!
Great speech. Thank you.
Why has society become so people struggle to afford to have children and care properly for them (Stay at home parent.) in the richest countries?
And people do need help with this in the west and need to also get some determination to not give up.
After your over the start it's actually a lot easier as no bottles to sterilise to carry about.
And drop all the feminists crap.
It's on everyone's interest and we don't need bullshit politics added to an issue.
Too bad feminism demonizes traditional maternal roles like stay at home moms. And you can thank inflation and taxes (both to pay for endlessly growing government programs) for the cost of living being so high that affording children is a luxury.
Madkite no it doesn't. Any person who's a real feminist would advocate for women to go on whatever life path they wanted. That's like the WHOLE point.
AvgJane19 Feminism isn't what it used to be.
Wow sooo educational and true.
( 233 ) Mothers may breastfeed their children two complete years for whoever wishes to complete the nursing [period]. Upon the father is the mothers' provision and their clothing according to what is acceptable. No person is charged with more than his capacity. No mother should be harmed through her child, and no father through his child. And upon the [father's] heir is [a duty] like that [of the father]. And if they both desire weaning through mutual consent from both of them and consultation, there is no blame upon either of them. And if you wish to have your children nursed by a substitute, there is no blame upon you as long as you give payment according to what is acceptable. And fear Allah and know that Allah is Seeing of what you do.
Sura Al-Baqara Verse 233
holy quran
Fennex OsDz Right? Alhamdulillah the answers are ALREADY there! Look at how miswaak has now been rebranded? Sigh!
I know how she can help me learn more about it...
it's free alright
IMO, it is a child's right to be breast fed.
I have no idea of the quality of breastmilk research but comparing it to pregnancy which has killed more people than several wars combined even in 2015 (WHO put it at 303000)? And as far as I know coffee is actually well researched. Wine and erectile dysfunction are big money. (No idea about the tomatoes)
I agree it's important to know as much as possible about breastmilk but this video doesn't even touch on the topic of what we don't know about breastmilk.
She talks more about everything around it and what we do know.
shouldnt be breasfeeding over someone whos 1 tho let realistic
I knew instantly she’s talking about the US. Luckily I’m not living in that country.
Spare me the melodrama and get to the data. My goodness the platitudes are bordering on disordered!
disappointed because i thought this talk was going to be more on the scientific side
Wired video. No clear message. Wishy washy. Some good points, covered by a load of crap on either side
Well the title is right I did not know about the political issues related to breast milk.
People often don't let moms on parental leave and also many people aren't okay with breastfeeding in public.
I don't eat in public because it's polluted. So I shall never feed my baby in public.
The dastardly Penguin Also, I think even a month leave is not enough for a baby. If one wants to make a baby, one should also raise them.
I absolutely agree that we should research breast milk more. I do not agree with the heavy feminist tones and ways of thinking of the talk.
Haha "heavy feminist tones"? Where did you hear those?
Kate we already research breast milk way more than you'd think, we just haven't done it in the US until recently. I've designed breast pumps as an engineer and was part of a team that launched a milk bank in the US and part of that included reviewing and participating in breast milk research. If you're interested in learning more, or seeing what the most cutting edge research tells us, I'd start with research done at the University of Western Australia from Dr. Hartmann's team. Will straight up blow your mind.
2 minutes in and no info. Stop rambling and get to the facts.
She didnt really say anything new.
mothers milk if, the mother, is fed proper food, which Monsanto has done away with, then mothers milk would be purely fantastic for the beginning stages of an infants growth. eating for two might get this woman killed by femi-nazi's who'd take that as a separate entity within an individual claiming its nothing more than a cancer until it is allowed to come out of the body the way all other cancers come out of the body which is cut out or poisened out of dead and lifeless. mothers with this mentality poisen their unborn babies without chemotherapy.
She's well qualified to speak on the matter but I sense that her delivery, and possibly her thinking, is muddied by contemporary feminist ideology/ social justice warrior ideology. We should look closer into breast milk though. Colostrum!
It's probably because during her studies she encounters the problems that breastfeeding women are facing time and again. It's no coincidence that the topics are linked. Her science IS muddied by feminist issues, but this isn't her fault; it's the fault of society for making it such a muddy issue!
So... i havent watched the entire video yet. But the introduction was really bad i think:/
Then you should not be commenting and instead watch the entire video.
Lol, that's why the comment was made about the introduction and not the whole video.
Akash Verma i said the intro was bad. Watching the rest of the video wont change that. If the person who made the presentation reads the comment then she will know the introduction didnt sell it for me. Cant give her any in depth reason for this as im not that good at analysing stuffs. Just giving her something i think she can improve on if she decides to talk about this at another event:)
The intro was like trying to get some humor and easy fun talk, but then he proceeded with serious topic with no humor whatsoever.
i love this
Turtles are antient also at 6.25
كيف يمكنني أن أجد الترجمة إلى اللغة العربية ؟
Why do i have the feeling that many of those dislikes are just because she is a woman and/or its not about technical things....
I mean i am not a femist or something but the community on the channel seems to be fast triggered at some point. Maybe because some uploads on this channel? I dont know. can you guys tell me?
*mothers'
is this referring to the mothers milk from fury road?
Her patronising self help way of speaking is extremely irritating to listen to.
Simo it's called being passionate. also everyone goes into "lecture speak" during trainings. it's innate.
4:25-
Intro...just.not.funny..
.
Are the men not invited for these kinds of talks?
Well, there are men in the public. What do you expect?
Golden Trout they are some men in the audience if u actually look, but not allot. my guess is that because its a seminar on breastfeeding, that topic tends to not interest men.
Men are allowed, do your research ^^
"TEDWomen brings together a global community of women and men interested in exploring how change begins: with innovative thinkers who catalyze ideas toward action. Over the past few years, TEDWomen and TEDxWomen have launched some powerful ideas into the world."
And further more, why are you so aggressive in a science based conference on breast feeding? Calm down boy...
I'm not mocking you, i'm pointing the fact that you are sensible on the subject and that you throw false fact (or should i say alternative?) to prove your point. It i ridiculous indeed but i'm not the one responsible for it, you are ^^
Then, yes it is political, because a lot of measures are anti breastfeeding, and maybe there are ways to progress so that one day women will feed their children with breast milk more easily in public places or at work (like some countries do with home working and other things). It is a measure of health care and I think that women AND men should stand for it (and does, again, look at the audience with men and women).
So yeah, basically, i'm a man and a student in medic school and i approve this message, politically and scientifically.
1 Agreed
2 Next time, ckeck before throwing info like that :)
3.Yeah so do I, and so does Katie Hindle
4. Yeah but I just context things by presenting myself. Hello! French, 23, medschool, male.
5. Well, the political angle is minor in this presentation, and still, scince is also politic. And the presentation wasn't bad, I learned things, and laughed some time, and understood her point. But yeah, subjectivity and all, so if it was bad for you then... too bad?
Justifying not doing the best for their babies.
03:28 Uggh. Really? Coffee, Wine and tomatoes bring much more joy than breastmilk
Why give info that shows the richness of mother's milk and then pretend it's a breach of her rights if we promulgate breastfeeding as the best thing? Why pretend it's only up to the mother, no judgment allowed, to decide if she wants to give this advantageous beginning to their children? Why is it MY failure of a mother doesn't choose to lactate? It doesn't require 'knowledgable, professional' staff to help a woman to nurse her child. It takes a caring mother who takes the time to reassure and encourage a woman who is starting out. Also, it's not something you do on a timetable. No one can throw money at the problem and fix it. Woman need to disconnect from other careers and invest the necessary time to meet that tiny dependant child's needs. It takes her life laid down for a short number of years but ensures real understanding, nurturing and nutrition for the child. Why act like anyone can be paid to do that with the care and sensitivity a mother can? If a woman isn't able slow down enough to breastfeed, why even bother to have children? If it's OK for woman to have Me Time, Romantic Get-Aways with her mate, then why not say clearly the child deserves something too.
Watched 40 seconds, she talks about how women are wasting time and energy breastfeeding babies. Sorry, I didn't realize breastfeeding you own baby was a time waster; let me guess that the rest of the video is how women should get paid for it right? They should be paid for bonding with their babies. Yep.
Go Katie!
Powder from cows milk seems to be better for human babies. muh.
Jana Ebert we don't have baby cows. what an ignorant statement.
Just trollin. It's like filling a gasoline engine with diesel. I'll never understand why people (and even babies) drink cows milk.
No. I don't want to pay for your stupid parental leave or your breast milk or any of your intersectional bullshit through increasing taxes. Make a private charity and whoever wants to donate can help you. Not my kid, not my wife, and certainly not my problem.
Her talk is fairly fascinating. Unfortunately she makes women seem as a victim to all social injustice. All she takes a jab at men, "erectile dysfunction ". Her talk would be great if her mode of speaking was more well round for men and women. Also not be offending. Because of this she is a turn off.
this woman is more political than scientist, throwing her "progressive" propaganda from start to finish, had she sticked to the issue of the mother's milk consistent with the title, the talk would have been much more interesting, but she just used the title as a hook, I feel sad for her... waste of time.
so... a researcher of breast milk is gets crazy bent out of shape ("I would never tell a woman what to do with her body") if someone who doesn't research breast milk asks if she has an opinion on how long to breast feed... that's not how you educate or inform. This person is a terrible representation of a scientist.
You lost me at paid off time for birth I have 2 kids and my wife wanted to be a stay at home mom and if you say that you can't down size and instead of top of the line new content get so so mediocre content and less of it other than that spot on!
This video might in some way be related to feminism so I'm going to dislike it without watching any of it.
I agree that breast milk is important for babies, I don't agree that your baby obligates me in the slightest, or that breastfeeding is somehow intersectional.
This video achieves the opposite of its intention. Rather than empowering mothers, it stigmatises mothers who do not breastfeed. It is disappointing to see such an archaic approach, rather than an acceptance of maternal (and paternal) autonomy.
I was hoping to learn more things about the effects of mothers milk (immunization, growth etc.), half or more of this video is just whining that American's are prudes that panic at the sight of a breastfeeding woman... Sorry TED, downvote for a misleading title. The presentation as a whole was bad. Some of her points sound made up - I know of no nutritionist or doctor that doesn't recommend breastfeeding a baby if possible.
Imho the real problem with feeding infants is the modern day ideal what a baby should look like. The commercials slap chubby looking babies, suggesting that babies should gain weight quickly and be fat, hence parents are inclined to use supplements like grains to feed their babies instead of mother's milk. That's the issue.
measure how much do we know using number of articles published.... not very scientific
Worth watching until 7:20
The title is transphobic/heteronormative! It assumes that only mothers lactate! #BoycottTED
(But seriously, this video is _not_ total drivel. The science part of the video was actually rather interesting; the politics... not so much.)
Shankar Sivarajan it's the truth you're a man so u can't breastfeed
yasmine lewis Facist don't take his right to breastfeed away from him! 😅
+yasmine lewis +Simo Did you just assume my gender?! Congratulations, you got it right!
Men can also breastfeed.
You mean trans men? Biological males don't have the developed mammary glands and the hormones to produce breast milk.
XOX
Of course feminist dislike before watching the video.
They problably don't even know what she was talking about

Good start.
I'm going to start off disclosing that I am a male and I truly feel for the women's equality movement. I feel compelled to mention that first off because I agree with your message that we do not know enough about breastfeeding and it unfortunately doesn't get discussed enough. However, the way you presented this point was terrible. You started off what I thought would be an educational discussion with anger. I don't feel that women's time is worthless by any means but really? I feel you are being a little sensitive about such a general statement. Nothing in life is free but in the context of saving money while providing a child with huge health benefits, breast milk is certainly a thrifty solution. With that said, the thing that angered me is your flawed science. That graph is taken out of context completely. You cannot simply take an amount of articles written about a topic and translate that to a fact that less is known about one thing over another. You are absolutely making a mockery of science and a disservice to women by doing that as well as not "telling a women what she should do with her body". I think any new mother wonders that question. So you write it off as not worth your time to discuss the facts that you do know? I hate the political climate we are in just as much as you do but you should have made a better choice of presenting your argument or another platform. I am not sure of your credentials but as a very inexperienced soon to be nurse, I find so much error in the way you don't ever educate on anything but vent your anger. You are not solving the problems you wish to fix by acting this way. Sorry, but I expected better from this. Keep fighting the good fight but don't provide alternative facts like the other side. Women deserve more than that.
It's breast feeding not breath feeding for god sake
100% of women have atleast 1 child in their life.
When politics OVERRIDE science to make a point. A sad sad place TED has become.
Breastfeeding is extremely important to humans. Even though this speaker made some political jabs, her general message is definitely worth hearing. Science and politics don't have to be at odds when it comes to this issue, and her political stance is informed by understanding the importance of breastfeeding, that we know about because of science.
What a stupid thing to say, you mention science but you obviously haven't taken any steps whatsoever to find the facts. As someone who has reviewed a good deal of research around breast milk I have to point out that the studies looking at the benefits of breast milk to mothers and babies is overwhelming. Do yourself and the rest of humanity a favor and keep the word 'science' out of your mouth if you're content on living such an ignorant existence.
