 A bit of bragging here.  My 17 yr old "baby" son just donated blood for the
first time.  His total, non-fasting cholesterol is (drum roll here) 105!  This
was my 11 pound (three week early) baby who was breastfed for 3 yrs.  His
brother who was ONLY breastfed for 2.5 yrs. has a total, also non-fasting
cholesterol of 125.  What can I say.  He only weighed 10 lbs. at birth!  Does
breastfeeding lower cholesterol and prevent obesity?  You bet!  Of course, I'm
preaching to the choir.
