NEW YORK (Reuters Health) Oct 05 - Adults who were breast-fed as infants 
are not at increased risk for cancer, researchers report in the October 5th 
issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Moreover, the 
results of a meta-analysis suggest that this feeding method may reduce the 
risk of premenopausal breast cancer.

The study is published in J Natl Cancer Inst 2005;97:1446-1457.
