Did anyone catch the reference yesterday or the day before on the Dean Edell
show about a new study that followed up breastfed children til the age of
17?  The study concluded that bf provided lasting benefits in terms of upper
respiratory allergies, atopic dermatitis, etc.  I caught only the tail end
of his discussion, and didn't hear where this study had been published, but
is apparently brand new.  Usually he reports on things from JAMA and NEJM.
Did anyone hear?
