"...we can tell moms reliably that BF will REDUCE their risk of developing breast cancer."

Actually, the wording of this statement reflects formula feeding as the cultural norm from which health and disease are measured. When breastfeeding is recognized as the biological norm--the foundation of normal (not superior) growth and development for mother and child--then the statement reads: "Formula feeding and insufficient breastfeeding increases women's risk of developing breast cancer."
