How about:

T/F  Research on non-human primates suggests that the natural age of weaning
(complete cessation of breastfeeding) in modern humans would be between 2.5
and 7.0 years of age.

T/F  In "traditional" cultures around the world, children are routinely
breastfed for 3 to 4 years.

T/F  For each month of exclusive breastfeeding, the risk of dying from
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is reduced by half.

T/F  Breastfeeding her children lowers a mother's risk of breast cancer, and
also protects her breastfed daughters from breast cancer in adulthood.


All of the above are True, of course.
