Mothers who breastfeed for at least six months may have a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes, according to a study published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Research shows that for every additional year of breastfeeding, the risk of diabetes decreases. Past studies have found that breastfeeding mothers have more stable blood sugar levels, but this is the first study to show that the length of time a mother breastfeeds is associated with a lower risk of diabetes. Researchers at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital studied two groups of mothers, one with 83,585 mothers and the other with 73,418 mothers. The study found that women who gave birth in the past 15 years had a 14 to 15 percent lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes if they breastfed, but the study did not show whether the risk of developing diabetes was also reduced for those who gave birth 15 years earlier .
About 90,000 American women currently have type 2 diabetes.
Comment
In the eyes of orthodox Chinese medicine, this kind of research is full of mistakes and baseless research. The so-called type 1 diabetes in Western medicine is the sequelae caused by vaccination, while type 2 diabetes is caused by eating snacks or overeating It has nothing to do with breastfeeding or not. I have many male patients who have type 2 diabetes, and they have never done breastfeeding work throughout their lives. This is a clear proof.
