Regarding the moms whose milk supply is significantly lower in one breast, 
should they not be encouraged to keep breastfeeding on this side if possible 
(without too much angst) due to breast cancer risk?  I keep thinking of the older 
study of Chinese women, I believe, who always used only one breast to 
breastfeed from throughout nursing time and had an increase in breast cancer in the 
unused breast.

Any thoughts about this aspect?
