Is Breast Milk the Next Diet Fad?

In their infinite wisdom, the folks over at Fox News has published an article discussing how Japanese researchers have discovered that lactoferrin, a protein found in body fluids may cut visceral fat by as much as 40 percent and could help prevent the risks of heart disease and type-2 diabetes. The richest source of lactoferrin? Human breast millk (or colostrum.) Could this be a huge breakthrough in dieting news?

Well, don't start sucking on those lactating breasts so quickly, my friends. What the brainiacs over at Fox News failed to realize was that the only news source publishing the research was a sleazy Japanese adult magazine Asahi Geino! The article about the breat milk diet was probably situated next to a report about used panty vending machines.

Kudos to Fox News for their amazing due diligence! This reminds me of the time when I was at Berkeley and got into a debate with a buddy about the Persian Gulf War and he started spouting some surprising statistics. When I asked him where he had found that illuminating information, he cheerfully replied, "Hustler magazine, dude!"
