Today, in my local paper was an article about extended breastfeeding that shows decreased cancer in a study in China. Ruth Lawrence and Kathy Dettwyler are both quoted. I will try to post the web site or go to wire/ap.org/ and pull up Jan 30 news sci stories. Maybe the article can be given to those health prof who see no value in nursing beyond six months. www.http://wire/ap.org/?FRONTID=HOME&SITE=NYMID&enter=GO Regards, Ellen Mahony *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
