Re: 32 per cent less likely to develop breast cancer if they breastfed
As always though there are the notable exceptions. I fed three children for more than 36 months combined and still got cancer before my youngest was 4. Apparently having more children is also beneficial but increases your risk initially in the first 5 years post partum.

"women carrying the BRCA1 gene were 32 per cent less likely to develop breast cancer if they breastfed for at least a year"
Yep..a 32% reduction doesn't eliminate the risk. |

Another counter example here. Breastfeed all my 3 kids for 2 years each. Found lump while nursing my 3rd. Go figure, I was so shocked with my diagnosis because I thought breastfeeding would make me immune to the disease...
