Artificial milk and breast milk: look for the differences

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so someone wanted to show the differences between artificial milk and breast milk, not explaining extensively the properties of one and the properties of the other, but putting two images next to each other of what can be seen through a microscope when a sample of each milk is observed.

Now all you need is to do your cabal to know which one is and which is another.

As clues, say that breast milk is very variable in its composition because it's a living tissue. This means that it is a fluid filled with cells whose concentration varies over time and not only in the long term, but also in short spaces of time. The milk that a child sucks at the start of a shot is, for example, different from the one he drinks when it is running out. In the same way colostrum is very different from transitional milk and it is with respect to mature milk.

On the other hand, breast milk is composed of a set of particles and macromolecules dissolved, dispersed or suspended in water, which is the element that constitutes the largest volume.

Artificial milk, on the other hand, is obtained by mixing a powder compound with water, which is obtained a completely homogeneous liquid of modified nutrients and chemical nutrients. This homogeneity is constant in the mixture, it is constant during the taking and, obviously, it is constant both daily and in the long term, because the mixture is always the same, regardless of when it is taken and who takes it.

After the clues, Do you know what breast milk is and what is artificial milk?
