BREAST'S MILK, DONKEY'S MILK AND CANCER
BREAST MILK
Breast milk is an excellent and natural source of nutrition for babies and is known for its numerous benefits. Breast milk, which contains all the essential nutrients that babies need in their first months, is full of high-quality proteins, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals. Thanks to this rich content, breast milk plays a critical role in the growth and development of babies. In particular, the antibodies and other immune-boosting elements contained in breast milk protect babies against infections and diseases, and also contribute to the development of babies' immune systems. Breast milk, which is suitable for the digestive system, is ideal for babies' immature digestive systems and reduces the risk of digestive problems or allergic reactions. It has also been observed that breastfed babies have a healthier body weight and have a lower risk of suffering from chronic diseases such as diabetes and obesity in the future. Breast milk, which also contributes to the strengthening of the emotional bond between mother and baby, also has positive effects on the psychological health of the mother. Breastfeeding may also help protect the mother against some health problems, such as cancer. Breast milk, which stands out with its economic and practical aspects, is a ready-made and cost-free source of nutrition that is always at the appropriate temperature.

BREAST MILK AND CANCER
Research on the benefits of breast milk against cancer shows that breastfeeding, in particular, has protective effects on breast cancer and childhood cancers. It has been shown that breastfeeding may reduce the risk of premenopausal and postmenopausal breast cancer. Breastfeeding is thought to cause hormonal changes that reduce the amount of estrogen a woman is exposed to over her lifetime, resulting in less exposure to hormones that can promote breast cancer cell growth. It is also stated that changes in breast tissue during pregnancy and breastfeeding reduce the risk of breast cancer by helping to remove cells with DNA damage potential.
Additionally, a meta-analysis study published in the journal BMC Medicine showed that breastfeeding may reduce the risk of childhood cancers. This analysis brought together several studies examining the relationship between breastfeeding and risk of childhood cancers. The study found a significant inverse relationship between breastfeeding and the risk of leukemia in childhood. It has been stated that the risk of childhood cancers decreases as the length of breastfeeding increases. These findings suggest that breastfeeding provides important health benefits not only for babies but also for mothers.
These studies indicate that breast milk may play an important role in the fight against cancer. However, conclusions on this subject must be supported by further research, and it is essential to seek medical advice and approval when determining any treatment or prevention strategy.

DONKEY MILK
Donkey milk is a type of milk that has historically been used for nutrition and health purposes in many cultures. With its relatively low fat content and high lactose content, donkey milk is structurally very similar to human milk. Since donkey milk has a low risk of allergy, it can be a good alternative for individuals who are allergic to cow's milk. Additionally, donkey milk contains significant amounts of immunoglobulin, indicating that it is a natural immune booster. These components may have protective effects, especially against digestive system and respiratory infections. Donkey milk is also rich in antioxidant compounds, making it protective against free radicals; Thus, it helps the body fight oxidative stress and supports cell health. Donkey milk, which is also rich in mineral content, contains minerals such as calcium, phosphorus and magnesium, which can contribute to bone health. The fact that it is rich in lactic acid indicates that it may have probiotic effects that support the digestive system. However, despite all these benefits of donkey milk, it is important to remember that scientific research is still limited and more studies need to be done on the effects of donkey milk on health.

DONKEY MILK AND CANCER
Research on the potential effects of donkey milk on cancer shows that this milk may be beneficial against some types of cancer. A 2020 study found that donkey milk and donkey colostrum (first milk) inhibited the progression of triple-negative breast cancer tumors and induced apoptosis (cell death) in mice. In this study, donkey milk and colostrum promoted the death of cancer cells by inhibiting tumor growth and metastasis. However, more research is needed on the impact of these findings on humans, and the use of donkey milk as a treatment against cancer has not yet been conclusively proven. For this reason, donkey milk has no place in cancer treatment.
CONCLUSION:
There has been some controversy regarding the use of breast milk and donkey milk in cancer treatment. First of all, breast milk is the ideal food for babies and contains many beneficial components. However, there is not enough scientific evidence for the use of breast milk as a cancer treatment in adults.
Donkey milk has historically been used for some health benefits, and some of the components it contains are thought to have positive health effects. However, there is no scientific evidence yet that donkey milk is effective in cancer treatment.
