I hear that there's a report in the current American Journal of Epidemiology
about a Yale study of breastfeeding and breast cancer in rural China.  The
researchers found that when they divided their sample into those who nursed
less than two years vs. more than two years, those in the long-term bf
sample had 50% less breast cancer (both pre- and post- menopausal).  I heard
this from an Associated Press reporter who is writing a story about the
research.  Keep your eyes peeled.
