In response to the request for references on breastfeeding and
breast cancer, I refer everyone to the latest issue of the newsletter of the
Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine "ABM News and Views" Vol 2, No. 2, which
is just out this week.  The lead article on page 1 is on breast cancer by
Edward R. Newton, M.D.  The article contains a number of references, which I
will also give here:
        Rosenblatt et al.  Int J Epidem, 1995
        Murrell, Medical Hypotheses, 1991
        Kvale J, Epid Comm Health, 1987
        Michaels et al.  Lancet, 1996
        Freudenheim  et al.  Epidemiol. 1994

        This issue also contains articles on the Amoco Corporation lactation
program, on Vitamin K for the breastfeeding infant and the abstracts of the
research papers presented at the annual meeting of the Academy of
Breastfeeding Medicine which was held this past weekend.

        Membership in the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine is open only to
licensed physicians, physicians in training and medical students, but
separate newsletter subscriptions are available to everyone by writing to
ABM News and Views at The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine, 601 Elmwood
Avenue, Box 777, Rochester, NY 14642 and enclosing a check for $15 for a one
year subscription.
