interesting that in the Herald Trib, it was written differently: 

The child mortality rate has declined by more than a quarter in the last two
decades...in large part because of the widening distribution of inexpensive
technologies like measles vaccines, and anti-malaria mosquito nets, and the
expansion of breast-feeding.  

 

Another article in the Health column: 

Choices could reduce cancer risk by 50%:

Women can cut their risk of breast cancer by almost half if they watch their
weight, exercise 30-60 minutes daily, breastfeed their babies and limit
alcohol to one drink a day according to a new report by the American
Institute for Cancer Research.  

Here is the article from another source since I could not find the Trib
article:
