Data drawing on children born in the 1920s and 1930s indicates that those who were breast-fed were 41% more likely to move up at least one social class than those who were fed cow's milk - the then alternative. The longer a child was breast-fed the greater its chances of upward social mobility. *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET email list is powered by LISTSERV (R).
