This quote from a celebrity in the media, mentions that being breastfed could protect against protect against avian flu and being a victim of the pandemic.
Since there is so much talk about pandmeic - what are the actual facts or physiology in play? Would a person who had been biologically breastfeed have a better chance of surviving the pandemic, and why?
Thanks

American actress Chloe Sevigny is refusing to succumb to the media hysteria surrounding the bird flu virus.
She tells the New York Daily News, "Doesn't avian flu affect old people more? I'm young and healthy. I have a strong constitution. My mother breast-fed me for years."
