Breastfeeding 'cuts mother's cancer risk'
Extract from the Telegraph:
"Mothers should breastfeed for six months after giving birth to cut their risk of developing breast cancer, researchers have advised.
The advice follows a World Cancer Research Fund survey that shows three out of four women are unaware of the link.
Two thirds are unaware that being breastfed cuts a child's risk of being overweight - a major risk factor for cancer.
And just 13 per cent of men are aware it could cut a mother's risk of developing breast cancer."
You can reduce your risk of developing cancer by avoiding salt and salty food.
