Extract

It has been shown that human milk, like cow's milk, increases in fat content during suckling. The increase is not associated with any systematic change in fat globule size distribution. Human milk fat globules, like those of the cow, have been shown to cluster at body temperature. These facts support the theory that the increase in fat content during suckling is due to the fine ducts filtering out the larger globule clusters.
