My friend told me that if I breastfeed my daughter for longer than 4 months it will increase HER risk of getting breastcancer later in life. Is this true????

No. That is not true. Did you have breast cancer? Even if you did, her chances of getting it are in her genes----NOT in your breast milk.
Everyone has a chance of getting breast cancer. It's an equal opportunity disease.

Breastfeeding is what got us here as human beings. What we need to worry about is what our society is eating. What we are eating is what causes our problems. Look at other cultures and what they eat and you will see they have lower instances of cancers. Food products contain so many preservatives. the non olive oil substitutes such as canola. yuck. outlawed in europe. we are posioning ourselves with substances we should not be eating and if you eat it your baby drinks it when you breastfeed. Following are 2 links - 1 from the EPA on how edible/useful canola is. #2 another opinion ?

I study that it quite is by way of fact a woman how starts youthful, or has lots, has fewer classes over her existence. i think of that it may additionally be that as quickly as we use our bodies the way they have been meant it is greater healthy for us. Oh, i do no longer recommend we've toddlers as young people, or have a bunch, however the breastfeeding occasion made me think of of it. If we use our breasts for his or her designed purpose they're greater healthy. it quite is my opinion! the prospect isn't lots, so in case you wait till after 30 it quite is large. different issues would be greater suitable for you. in all risk much less rigidity over money, given which you're apt to be greater maintain.

no, quite the opposite.. studies have overwhelmingly shown that women who have breast fed have a markedly lower rate of breast and cervicle cancer.
Supposedly this has to do with the lower number of ovulations. More ovulations in a life time is related to a higher cancer rate.

No, it is not true. There has not been any link between breast feeding and development of breast cancer ever published in the medical literature.

So not true. We mammals have been breastfeeding for over 150 million years, so you'd think it would be healthy by now.

honestly being a Christian I believe it is the only way to feed your child naturally the way God intended it to be done. I don't think it will make a difference.
