“It’s not that you are better off if you have a baby and breast-feed than someone who’s never been pregnant, it’s that you are better off than someone who becomes pregnant and does not breast-feed. A woman who becomes pregnant and does not breast-feed is actually putting herself at risk. So we can talk about the benefits of breast-feeding but perhaps it is better framed as the risks of not breast–feeding.”

This is one of the first articles I’ve seen which actually called a spade a spade. There are NO benefits to breastfeeding. There are only risks to NOT breastfeeding. Semantics, but very powerful semantics.
