A debate broke out on Good Morning Britain over whether it's acceptable to drink breast milk - if you're not a baby.
Presenter and mother-of-two Danielle Mason said she doesn't see the problem if her partner wants to try her breast milk, while broadcast journalist Reya El-Salahi insisted it's meant for babies.
The debate comes after Brody Jenner shared a clip of himself making a cup of coffee with his fiancée's breast milk.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain, Danielle said: 'It does taste like almond milk. I have tasted my own and my children father - I put it in his tea.
She added that her partner has said he would 'quite happily' drink her breast milk.
'I don't see the difference with breast feeding a baby and if your partner wants to try your breast milk. There are no partners that haven’t at least tried it,' she claimed
However, Reya argued that it's down to the effort the mother puts in, saying that it may have taken hours to pump and that she eats a certain diet so that she's producing the best possible milk for her baby.
She didn't like the idea that it's then 'going into the mouth of an adult rather than the baby is was intended for'.
She added: 'There is a reason that a lot of people feel grossed out by it, but for me personally, I don't think it's a disgusting thing to do because I breastfed my daughter. But it's meant for babies not adults.
However, Danielle doubled down on her point and quipped that couples have already swapped bodily fluids if they have children together.
Danielle said: 'It's very good for muscle building, it has got nutrients in it. Not only that, but you have already swapped [bodily fluids]. You and your partner have had a baby together. I am sure you have tasted worse things.'
Meanwhile, Reya argued: 'The whole point of it is it's meant for babies, it's made by your body especially for your baby, if your baby has the flu it changes its antibodies.'
The debate also ruffled few feathers on social media with some saying they don't see the problem with adults drinking breast milk because we drink cow's milk.
One person wrote: 'Cows milk is meant for calfs, goats milk is meant for kids, millions of gallons are consumed the world over daily by a different species, no one bat's an eye lid.'

Another said: 'Women’s breast milk comes from the mammary gland which is meant for babies. Same for cows - it comes from their udders, BUT WE STILL DRINK IT!'
Someone else said: 'Why not? We drink another animal's breast milk so why not our own species?'
It comes after Brody declared his coffee made with his fiancée's breast milk 'delicious.'
The Hills alum shared a clip of himself making a cup of coffee for himself and his wife-to-be, Tia Blanco, with the unconventional ingredient as creamer.
In a new YouTube video, the 40-year-old discovered he had run out of almond milk while making the lattes, but found that breast milk made for an amazing alternative.

The TV personality and his pro-surfer fiancée, 26, enjoyed their breast milk lattes while snuggling up in bed together after welcoming their new baby, Honey Raye, in July.
According to Healthline, drinking breast milk can be very nutritious for both the parents and the baby.
It can provide antibodies, reduce the risk of diseases, and even decrease your risk of depression.
