Breast Feeding Has Enduring Health Benefits

April 1, 2014: 12:00 AM EST
Breast-feeding has been found to have a long-term beneficial health effect on babies. According to French researchers who studied data collected from 1984 through 2006, breast-fed babies are less likely to be obese at age 20. The beneficial effect of breast-feeding is significant when nutritional intake to age two is considered, researchers said, and is linked to a reduction in body fat at 20 years old. In the statistical model, higher fat intake at two years was  linked to a reduction in fat mass at 20 years.
