Hi all,

This piece is from July 18 on MSNBC.com.  A new study has just been released that suggests that having more children and breastfeeding them for longer cuts a woman's breast cancer risk, 4.3% for EACH YEAR of breastfeeding (regardless of the number of children) and 7% for each additional child born (regardless of whether they're breastfed).

Here's the link to the article:
