On a slightly different tack. There was a pamphlet about cancer in a recent
issue of a Sydney newspaper by a prominent doctor which discussed the
issues surrounding cancer prevention including diet, environmental factors
etc. It is briefly mentioned that extended breastfeeding might reduce
breast cancer but that there are conflicting results in studies (or words
to that effect). I heard of and read plenty of papers that have found that
breastfeeding reduces breast cancer. Does anyone know of the studies that
find no effect of breastfeeding on breast cancer?
