Breast Feeding and Type 2 Diabetes

According to findings published in the medical journal Diabetes Care:

Research done by the University of South Carolina, Columbia, concluded that “the breast-feeding rate was lower in subjects with type 2 diabetes compared with the control subjects, at 20 versus 27 percent in African Americans; 50 versus 84 percent for Hispanics; and 39 percent versus 78 percent for non-Hispanic whites, respectively.”

The analysis could be due to the fact that breast feeding had a protective effect against type 2 diabetes in its moderation of childhood weight.

Dr. Elizabeth J. Mayer-Davis of the University of South Carolina, said: “Dramatic increases in childhood obesity and the emergence of type 2 diabetes in youth motivate research to identify lifestyle approaches to primary prevention of both conditions.”
