Yes, you'd get their attention if the title of the talk was 
"Breast/Breastfeeding is no longer best" ...There are a number of papers 
that have talked about this starting with one from the Jelliffes in the 70s 
but also Mike Latham, Diane Wiessinger and Nina Berry and myself (there's 
also a clip from a debate I was a part of on youtube). Happy to pass these 
on to any wishing to use them. The language is so incredibly important!

> state that breastfeeding may be protective against some cancers in moms 
> and babies (still the wrong paradigm) still give the wrong impression in
