I find it extraordinary that a Medscape article I read today, "The Prevention of Breast Cancer: An Overview" (http://www.medscape.com/38222.rhtml?srcmp=ms-052501) includes no mention of research showing that breastfeeding reduces the risk of breast cancer (or, rather, formula feeding increases the risk).
