If you have excess breast milk can you use it in your brownies?

Breast milk can be used in recipes for brownies or anything else. What you have to watch is that breast milk is much different than cow's milk. Human milk has much less fat than cow's milk and this will change the outcome of your recipe. Give it a try and let us know your results. This would be a great use of expressed breast milk that the baby does not need.

What is meant by fibrocystic disease of the breast?

When I was twenty six I had a lump in my breast and was terrified it was cancer. I had the lump removed for a biopsy and was told it was a fibrocyst.
