Give us a fun fact about humans

In our bodies, we have a chemical called prolactin which causes milk-like secretions to be produced and shipped to breasts if there are no offspring. (Such milk contains much more sugar and protein and less water than regular milk.)

Even without offspring, we produce this milk, but it just slowly trickles out from our breasts, gets dumped, and becomes a waste product. If we had a way to store it, and consume it in moderation, it would make great drinking milk! Unfortunately, we don’t.
