The article makes me feel better, sort of. I was tired of always hearing a high BMI was correlated with BC when no one I knew had a high BMI.

Karen, I read something similiar about being tall. I think what I saw said the risk was higher if one grew more than an inch after age 13 and was taller than 5'-4" or so.
