This is probably what the story was about:
<http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/470775>. The article starts:

"Breast-feeding during infancy has been linked to decreased heart disease
mortality, and now new research suggests that this may be due to blood
pressure-lowering effects. "The wider promotion of breast-feeding is a
potential component of the public health strategy to reduce population
levels of blood pressure," the researchers suggest."

The study itself appears in the March 1 edition of Circulation.
