Breast feeding significantly 'cuts cancer risk in mothers'

Breast feeding 'cuts cancer risk in mothers'
Article in the Telegraph

Extract:

"Whether they breastfeed two babies for six months each or one baby for a year, women can cut their risk of developing the disease significantly, said Dr Rachel Thompson, science programme manager for the World Cancer Research Fund.

Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women, with 45,000 cases diagnosed in Britain each year.

The protective effects of breastfeeding over a long period of time have been well documented.

Studies have shown mothers who breastfeed past a child's second birthday are half as likely to develop the disease as those who stop at 12 months.

However, a recent survey for the WCRF found that three out of four women were unaware that breastfeeding could cut their risk of developing the disease.

Speaking at the start of breast cancer awareness month, Dr Thompson urged mothers to breastfeed for as long as they could. She said brestfeeding for a year could reduce the risk of developing breast cancer by 4.8 per cent

"We want to get across the message that breast-feeding is something positive that women can do to reduce their risk of breast cancer," she said.

"Because the evidence that breast-feeding reduces breast cancer risk is convincing, we recommend women should breast-feed exclusively for six months and then continue with complementary feeding after that.""

Reducing salt intake, especially during pregnancy, also reduces the risk of developing breast cancer and many other diseases, as well as reducing obesity. - It's good for the baby too.

Lose weight, reduce your risk of most cancers, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, stroke, heart disease, heart attack, vascular dementia, osteopenia, osteoporosis, hypercholesterolaemia, depression, liver and kidney problems, and improve your health in many other ways without drugs or expense by eating less salt! - Try it! - You will feel so much better!
