What about still-births? Spontaneous abortions? Does it have something to do with the woman’s breasts being geared up to produce milk just prior to the birth of the child, but that milk not being consumed, causing tumours to grow?

What correlation does this have with women who give birth but don’t breastfeed?

“What about still-births? Spontaneous abortions?”

Those are excellent questions. Two weeks ago a young 24 year old married friend of my daughter’s had a routine pregnancy checkup with her doctor. She was five months along. Sadly, she was informed that they couldn’t find a heartbeat and it was determined that the baby was dead. She was given the medication to induce labor and gave birth the next day to a very small(10 oz.) perfectly formed little boy. They will do an autopsy to try to discover what happened. Needless to say, many tears have fallen from all our eyes over this loss. I would hate to think that this tragedy could further impact her health somewhere down the line.

How about the correlation between breast cancer and taking birth control? Breast cancer and smoking? Breast cancer and marijuana? (Or lung cancer and marijuana, for that matter. All these "non-smokers" who now have lung cancer....Nobody ever says if they were marijuana smokers.) Breast cancer and fertility drugs? Breast cancer and urban pollution?

The increased rates are stunning but there are so many environmental factors and drug choices. The two women I knew who died of breast cancer in their 30's both took massive fertility drugs, had successful pregnancies, and were diagnosed with breast cancer within a year of the babies' births. How do they fit into this model?
