Interesting point, but are other organs so deliberately and obviously removed
from their physical functions? I wonder if it makes a difference that women's
breast functions are not supported ( so to speak...:). Are the numbers
similar in places where breastfeeding rates and durations are higher? ( Where was
the Drs study data from?)
