Dear Friends:
     The posts about the ACS local posts being somewhat interested in the
protective effect of bf are interesting.
     Back in the early '90s, I contacted the ACS about the same thing. I
called the national headquarters. I was told that there wasn't enough
evidence to support such a link. At that time, the published research would
have filled a small room.
     Now the published research will fill a large room....keep at it,
friends, and perhaps ACS will finally pick up the ball!!
     Warmly,
