[ID] 411 [Interest Areas] Concerned Citizen Other Areas: Woman [Comment] I'd like to know more about the link between breastfeeding and the reduction in breast cancer. The only studies I've read or heard about involved breastfeeding where breastfeeding was not clearly defined (time-wise). What about longer breastfeeding? In the US women breastfeed for an extremely short amount of time compared with other countries. When US women breastfeed more along the lines of women worldwide (3-4 years) is there a larger reduction in breast cancer? Could our changing to formula be linked to the increase in breast cancer? Who is looking at this? [Topic]
