Breastfeeding may protect at-risk women from cancer

Women with a family history of breast cancer may have a new weapon against the disease: breast-feeding. In a new study of more than 60,000 women, nursing a baby for at least three months cut the risk of breast cancer in half for those who had a family history of the disease.

For women with at least one close relative with breast cancer, nursing cut breast cancer risk by 59 percent.

The researchers say that breast-feeding could be the equivalent of taking the drug tamoxifen for five years, which is a well-known way to cut breast cancer risk in women with a family history of the disease.

“For women at high risk right now, the things we have to offer are tamoxifen, prophylactic mastectomy — that’s about it,” says Alison M. Stuebe, M.D., of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, who conducted the research while at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. “This study is really good news for women with a family history of breast cancer who are looking to reduce their risk.” The study was published Monday in Archives of Internal Medicine.

Imagine a cloth that kills 99.9% of bacteria using just water. And it works much better than a regular cloth, picking up dirt more than twice as efficiently as a regular cloth, and leaving your surfaces streak-free.  Well, such a thing does exist.  It’s called an “Enviro” microfiber cloth, lined with antibacterial silver, and made by Norwex.  And this is only one example.

I’m excited about this company because not only do their products work much better than what I’ve been using all along, but their cleaning tools DON’T USE CHEMICALS!  Just water, that’s all it takes, and you will have a spotless germ-free kitchen, mirror, floor…you name it.

And the best part of course…you can buy it from….me!  Seriously though, I would be promoting this even if I wasn’t getting money out of it, so I figured I might as well make a comission if I’m going to be so excited about it!

I would love to come do a show at your place…hostesses/hosts get lots of free stuff, there are prizes and the shows are great fun.  And you save your health and money in the long run.
