I was reading something about lactation in another venue, and then I ran across a thread here about lactate threshold. I started thinking about breastfeeding instead. Why are these two terms so similar? There must be something about the two biologic processes that make them related? No?
Anybody? Biologists?

When chemists named lactic acid, it was because there's a lot of it in fermented milk products.
I don't remember much about the fermentation process in the body, from exercise physiology :rolleyes: (probably Zen will chime in!) but Wikipedia (lactic acid) (lactic acid fermentation) is probably accurate enough...
Both are derived from the Latin word for milk.
What a disappointment. lol. Thought I was going to learn something.
Wait. I learned some Latin.
