I hear that there's a report in the current American Journal of Epidemiology about a Yale study of breastfeeding and breast cancer in rural China. The researchers found that when they divided their sample into those who nursed less than two years vs. more than two years, those in the long-term bf sample had 50% less breast cancer (both pre- and post- menopausal). I heard this from an Associated Press reporter who is writing a story about the research. Keep your eyes peeled.
