Yes, there has been omsething linking the preventitative effects of breastfeeding with (premenopausal ) breast cancer in October, Breast Cancer Awareness month (also have this month in UK). My colleague (Phyll are you lurking?) Phyll Buchanan and I slogged all summer to produce an article due out today (1-10-98) in MIDWIVES JOURNAL, the magazine which goes to each member of the Royal College of Midwives (the midwives' union) here in the UK. It is going to be about FOUR pages (pretty good for two authors from a lay breastfeeding support group) and is entitled: Breastfeeding and Breast Cancer: a research review. I don't know how accessable this journal is to those outside the UK. If you see it and have any comments, please do email me privately and I will share with Phyll.
