    "If a drug could reduce breast cancer by 42% in our country, we would be promoting it. If the drug was used for more than 24 months, breast cancer would be reduced by 54%. Of those women who use this drug, most quit its use within 4 to 6 months. Those women in our country who average 2.5 children and who use this drug for 6 additional months than is customary could prevent 25,000 breast cancers each year; using the drug for 12 additional months could prevent 50,000 breast cancers each year. This drug has a wonderful impact upon the health of women. This "drug" is BREASTFEEDING!!!!
    This information is based on 47 studies of almost 150,000 women in 30 countries ( The Lancet, July 20, 2002). "
