Alicia,
I have a paper on Breastfeeding and Health Summary of Research Findings out
of Breastfeeding Review which says that extended breastfeeding is a
possible link to lower risk of cervical cancer, as well as ovarian cancer.
The reference quoted is
Schneider AP. "Risk factor for ovarian cancer" (letter) New Engl J Med
1987; 31-(8): 508 -509.
Interesting, huh?
Kind regards,
Gay Ryan
