Just for your information. CP (a Canadian wire service) is carrying a
Statistics Canada report that rates of breastcancer are 1/5 the Canadian
average. "Part of the explanation for the low rates among the Inuit may be
found in the age when they give birth and because they breastfeed longer.
'Early pregnancy and breastfeeding may have protective effects against
breast cancer.' said Andre Corriveau of the Northwest Territories Health
Department. 'Inuit women tend to have their first child at a much earlier
age than the average southern woman.'
The Inuit diet may also be a factor.  They consume fat from marine animals,
which is less harmful than the type of fat commonly found in the diet of
most Canadians."

The federal government does have web pages and it may be possible to see the
press report directly if you were to do a search. I don't know the address
sorry.
