The website promom.org has a "101 Reasons to Breastfeed Your Child" list.
What I like most about it is that it's well referenced. Reason #6 says,
"Formula feeding increases baby girls' risk of developing breast cancer in later
life.
Women who were formula-fed as infants have higher rates of breast cancer as
adults. For both premenopausal and postmenopausal breast cancer, women
who were breastfed as children, even if only for a short time, had a 25% lower
risk of developing breast cancer than women who were bottle-fed as infants.
Freudenheim, J. et al. 1994 "Exposure to breast milk in infancy and the risk of
breast cancer". Epidemiology 5:324-331."
Maybe this is the citation you are looking for?
