Here’s the heart of this study. If you have a baby and breastfeed for the first month at least, you are half as likely to get diabetes than those who have a baby but don’t breastfeed at all. Those moms are twice as likely to develop the disease than those previously mentioned.
Of course I’m looking for the angle here. Everyone knows it’s better for baby and mom to breast feed for the first year. Some women are just not able, comfortable, or stable enough to do some. Throwing in their faces that now in addition to being bad mothers they will be punished further by getting diabetes because they didn’t breastfeed their babies.
What does breastfeeding have to do with diabetes? I has to do with burning excess fat from your body. If I’m righ about that then how about singling out those people who don’t exercise. or those who don’t run, walk, or jog?
Maybe we could group a lot of different people together like those who golf and aren’t burning enough calories?
You know as well as I do that mothers are easy to attack and are sponges for guilt trips.
Your life style is what counts, what you are doing now in terms of diet and movement, leave the breasts out of it and do what’s best for you and your child.
