Study Confirms Cannabinoids Occur Naturally In Human Breast Milk

In January 2017 a study confirmed that
cannabinoids occur naturally in human breast
milk - and it’s proving now to still be as
relevant of a study as ever.
If it were not for these cannabinoids in breast
milk, newborn children would not know how
to eat, nor would they necessarily have the
desire to eat, which could result in severe
malnourishment and even death.
Newborn children who are breastfed
naturally receive doses of cannabinoids that
trigger hunger and promote growth and
development.
Observations of how babies act after being fed
show they exhibit symptoms of cannabinoid
use.
As well as the essential function of
stimulating an infant’s appetite, cannabinoids
also help to calm and relax the baby.
According to the findings of several major
scientific studies, human breast milk naturally
contains of the same cannabinoids found in
the cannabis plant, which are vital for proper
human development.
Cell membranes in the body are naturally
equipped with these cannabinoid receptors
which, when activated support and maintain
human health.
Human breast milk is an abundant source of
endocannabinoids, a specific type of
neuromodulator lipid that basically teaches a
newborn child how to eat by stimulating the
suckling process.
Dr. Melanie Dreher studied women using
cannabis during their entire pregnancy and
then studied the babies one year after birth.
She found that babies of the women who had
smoked cannabis daily during their pregnancy
socialised more quickly, made eye contact
more quickly and were easier to engage.
Cannabinoids are not, however, present in
baby formula, which makes it far more
inferior to breast milk.
Furthermore, a study on the endocannabinoid
receptor system that was published in the
European Journal of Pharmacology reported:
“The medical implications of these novel
developments are far reaching and suggest a
promising future for cannabinoids in
paediatric medicine for conditions including
‘non-organic failure-to-thrive’ and cystic
fibrosis.”
There are two types of cannabinoid receptors
in the body; the CB1 variety which exists in
the brain, and the CB2 variety which exists in
the immune system and throughout the rest of
the body.
Each one of these receptors responds to
cannabinoids, whether it be from human
breast milk in children, or from cannabis.
This essentially means that the human body
requires and produces endocannabinoids, as
these nutritive substances play a critical role
in supporting and maintaining human health.
