I wonder if the "weaning-induced involution" was gradual or abrupt. In my
personal experience, abrupt weaning is definitely associated with
inflammation while gradual weaning after prolonged breastfeeding was
hardly noticeable--another reason to breastfeed into the 3-4 year range.
Don't get too upset by the study until you look at all the confounding
factors. I tried to download it, but I'm not a subscriber. Were you able
to read the study? How was weaning induced? Naturally? Or abruptly?
Wouldn't it be interesting if we learned that abrupt weaning leads to this
problem, while gradual weaning (i.e., no associated inflammation) has no
effect? Or possibly a beneficial effect? Maybe . . .
