To all: Just reading our national paper Toronto Globe and Mail and an article re:" breastfeediing, cancer link not found in study but there is one exception" jumps out at me. This article says " Breastfeeding has little effect on breast cancer, U.S. researchers suggest today after a large study intended to settle a long-lasting debate. This was a study compiled by Dr. Karin Michels and colleagues at the Harvard School of Public Health dipped into an existing study of 120,000 U.S. Nurses, who regularly fill out questionnaires on all aspects of their health........{don't want to quote everything}..... There was one exception in the Harvard results-- women who had just one child and breastfed had a lower risk of cancer than women who had one child and did not breastfeed." Has anyone read this study in more detail? How can having just one child make a difference? or is this a vote for decreasing world population? Unfortunately this has been my month for thinking about breast cnacer. I was just catching up on yesterday's lactmail. Is this the study that you were referring to Elizabeth B? Attie Sandink RN.
