We read with interest the enlightening article by Romieu et al. (1) on breastfeeding in relation to risk of breast cancer among women in Mexico City. The widespread practice of long-duration lactation has given these researchers the ability to address questions that could not be easily answered using data from most industrialized countries. We were, however, puzzled by a few points made in the paper, particularly with regard to figure 1 and the conclusions drawn from it.URL
