Hi inflammo,
I'll bet you got giddy, (lol, I know I did). In small amounts I believe it's ok, an indiscriminate amount could be a an issue (prolactinomas). It seems possible that glucose and fat oxidation in liver/adipose and eventually breast tissue (via acetyl-CoA carboxylase) has a lot to do with expressing breast milk.......in English, a high fat/high carb diet triggers insulin tied to prolactin (an anterior pituitary) response..
Prolactin inhibits DHT in target cells (being a larger molecule to DHT, which suppresses synthesis in the presence of prolactin). On the the other hand too much prolactin also inhibits estrogen synthesis too.
And lastly (lol, if your not already like wtf lotus), a personal observation on getting (or expressing prolactin) means the auxiliary duct work is forming........(aka—the road to bigger boobs).
