Hi All,
Unfortunately, it seems like every major (and minor) news outlet picked up
that JAMA press release and ran with it. It's all over the internet --
Breastfeeding does not protect against obesity, Breastfeeding might not
protect against obesity, Breastfeeding may not ward off child obesity, and
my personal "favorite": Breastfeeding for longer may not lower obesity
risk. (thank you Fox News) Really? Longer? We're talking three months!
It's such a disservice.
