How about:
T/F Research on non-human primates suggests that the natural age of weaning
(complete cessation of breastfeeding) in modern humans would be between 2.5
and 7.0 years of age.
T/F In "traditional" cultures around the world, children are routinely
breastfed for 3 to 4 years.
T/F For each month of exclusive breastfeeding, the risk of dying from
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is reduced by half.
T/F Breastfeeding her children lowers a mother's risk of breast cancer, and
also protects her breastfed daughters from breast cancer in adulthood.
All of the above are True, of course.
