This is the response I got from the ACS (Am Cancer Society) when I wrote to
them about more emphasis on the protection of breastfeeding and cancers.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ACS will continue to list breast feeding as one way that a woman can
lower her risk of getting breast cancer on our web site, in our annual
Breast Cancer Facts and Figures publication, and in materials that list
breast cancer risk factors. Because our web site has so much information,
it often seems like topics get "buried" but there is really no way around
that. If someone opens our site and looks at the breast cancer
information, it is at the beginning of the section on preventing breast
cancer. It is unlikely that additional attention or promotion will be
given to this topic given that the risk reduction is small and dependent on
long duration of breast feeding.

I'm not sure what my next step should be, any suggestions?
