eli5: why isn’t formula milk just formulated to be better than breastmilk?
In: 1316
It’s for the same reasons we don’t just formulate some blood so we don’t need blood donors any more. Mostly because we can’t exactly replicate the original, but also because formula milk has to be affordable. Every extra ingredient to bring it closer to the real thing adds costs. Breast is best, if you can manage it.
