 | | Regardless of the role of breast feeding may have in preventing obesity, the continued protection, promotion, and support of breast feeding remains a major public health priority, they conclude. |
 | | The second study involved 2,631 British children, for whom data on duration of breast feeding, body mass index, and confounding factors (such as birth weight, mother's smoking during pregnancy, parental body mass index, and social class) were available. |
 | | Promoting breast feeding is important, but evidence for an important beneficial effect on obesity is still equivocal, they conclude. |
