Health » Breastfeeding May Lower Childhood Leukemia Risk
Nov 11, 2004

Reuters

The analysis of 14 studies conducted since 1988 found that overall, longer-term breastfeeding was linked to a 24 percent lower risk of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), the most common form of childhood leukemia. Breastfeeding for 6 months or less appeared to reduce ALL risk by 12 percent.
Breastfeeding was also linked to a lower risk of acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML), a form of the cancer that in recent decades has accounted for 16 percent of leukemia cases among U.S. children.
