Norma, I enjoyed seeing your daughter's calming words and demonstrations. But I gotta ask about the news commentator's statistics: 'every year you bf your baby your risk of breast ca goes down by 32%"? From what baseline? The previous year's risk? So there's diminishing gain with increasing years nursed? It can't be a static benchmark because, um, after 3 years you what, give breast ca to the baby? <not very funny joke> - What I'm asking is, how does this work? What are the statistics? (Sorry, perhaps I should research this before asking, I'm sure it's all readily available).
Anyway, notice that there aren't really even any offensive or irritating comments. I actually think this is kind of ho-hum even for fox news audiences. Which is, if true, quite frankly absolutely astounding. While we weren't looking maybe things are getting more tolerant around here ("here"=USA).
