==Breast Feeding==
==Breast Feeding==
According to the source given in the article, returning to preindustrial fertility may reduce risk, not breast feeding alone. The article states that having an average of 6 children and breast feeding them for an average of 2 years reduces risk. Someone should correct it or clarify it, because as it stands it is misleading--"breastfeeding" alone is not enough.[[User:FredRidr|FredRidr]] 13:55, 23 June 2007 (EDT)

Sorry to pester (OK, not really)...I have no interest in changing CPs anti-abortion position. But if you want to have an article that is truly informative about breast cancer, you may wish to limit the information to that which has been scientifically proven. For instance, the role of breast self-exam is no longer clear, and that of mammograms is complicated. The role of abortion is however well-known, in that there has never been a proven connection between breast cancer risk and abortion. Also, if there were, it would additionally need to be proved that avoiding abortion reduces breast cancer risk. The date aren't there. The fight against abortion is elsewhere and should not be fought by misinforming people about another health topic.[[User:palmd001|PalMD]]<sup>[[User_talk:palmd001|talk]]</sup> 22:18, 7 March 2008 (EST)
