Norma, I enjoyed seeing your daughter's calming words and demonstrations.  But I gotta ask about the news commentator's statistics:  'every year you bf your baby your risk of breast ca goes down by 32%"?  From what baseline?  The previous year's risk?  So there's diminishing gain with increasing years nursed?  It can't be a static benchmark because, um, after 3 years you what, give breast ca to the baby?  <not very funny joke> - What I'm asking is, how does this work?  What are the statistics?  (Sorry, perhaps I should research this before asking, I'm sure it's all readily available).

Anyway, notice that there aren't really even any offensive or irritating comments.  I actually think this is kind of ho-hum even for fox news audiences.  Which is, if true, quite frankly absolutely astounding.  While we weren't looking maybe things are getting more tolerant around here ("here"=USA).
