Not a surprise that the researcher has his bias.

I only posted because it appeared that the quotes, by mentioning culture media, were addressing the purification of monoclonal antibodies which are a special case. Under current production methods, the hybridomas that synthesize the monoclonals secrete them into the culture medium. For any other protein, the cells that produce the protein will maintain them intracellularly, so you'll have to crack the cells open to purify the protein. That's when things get messy and goat's milk finds its advantage.

I don't have experience with plants, so I can't compare plants to goat's milk.
