Wow! Sorry if I started Women's WWIII...I hope that we do not miss the value of the study as it had nothing to do with babies but with the health of women who make a "free" choice to breastfeed and as a result get some health benefits for themselves. Every study is sponsored by someone, that is how our world works. The Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology chose to publish the study results because it considered it scientifically strong and worth of publication so physicians and the scientific community can access new knowledge. I personally have no authority to call this study flawed or questioned its results.
I suggest accepting the posting on its data value. EmpowHer is here to share information and I trust women will make their own decisions.
