Because breast tissue remains susceptible to cancer until it undergoes a stabilizing transformation in the childbearing process, said Lanfranchi, the pill is particularly dangerous to women who have not yet had their first child: perhaps the most popular demographic among pill users in the U.S.

I didn’t know this either. Childbearing makes women less likely to have breast cancer?

So does breastfeeding.

Absolutely. Childbearing reduces the risk of breast cancer. Link

It’s a hormonal thing.

You have a higher rate of ovarian cancer if you are childless, also.

Breastfeeding is also a hormonal thing. Breastfeeding is best for mother and baby when possible.

By the time you have breastfed for seven years (total, not continual!) you have almost 0% chance of getting breast cancer.

Yes it does.The only thing worse than not having children is ending a pregnancy eapecially a first one before the age of 20 by abortion.So women who have done that and use the pill are basically doomed.I’m shocked by the 1000% increase that is very dramatic.

According to literature I've read, having your first baby before age 30, and then breastfeeding the baby, helps to protect against breast cancer.
