Breast milk does NOT taste like cows milk.
From first hand experience I can tell you that it is sweeter and richer(fattier tasting) then cows milk.
Also what the woman eats a few hours before the milk is drunk can have a BIG difference in it's taste.
I tried it a few times when my son was breast feeding both cold and warm(fresh from the tap).
It was really sweet after she had been eating ice cream.
And if she ate onions or garlic the flavor would come through in the milk.

One interesting question I always had is that if breast milk boosts a babies immune system, could it also do the same for an adult?

Well, I guess wee now know how they'll sell different flavours of the treat...

I guess this might be a solution:

Quote:There is great potential for using transgenic technology to improve the quality of cow milk and to produce biopharmaceuticals within the mammary gland. Lysozyme, a bactericidal protein that protects human infants from microbial infections, is highly expressed in human milk but is found in only trace amounts in cow milk.

(in short, they cloned cows which could produce human milk)
