[ID] 216 [Interest Areas] Concerned Citizen Health Care Provider Lactation Professional Public Health Worker [Comment] I would like to hear just once when the media is doing it's annual coverage of breast cancer and the race for the cure about the race for prevention. Surely the lack of BF in our culture is correlated to the higher levels of breast cancer, BF is protective and this should be mentioned. We tell people to excercise to prevent obesity, eat healthy to prevent high cholesterol, quit smoking to reduce their risk of emphysema and cancer, why can't we make women aware that bf reduces cancer risk for mom and baby and a whole host of other risks. We need to get the media in on the act because people behave as if it's said on TV or the internet then it must be so. [Topic]
