How is breastfeeding related to breast cancer?

Breastfeeding can protect you against developing breast cancer. We don't know exactly how breastfeeding is protective but we know that it definitely is.

A large Cancer Research UK study in 2002 compared breastfeeding history in women who had breast cancer with women who hadn't. It was a very large study, involving the histories of 50,000 women with breast cancer and nearly 100,000 women without.

The longer the women had breastfed during their lifetime, the less likely they were to get breast cancer. According to the researchers, this was a very striking finding. They made sure that the women's age, menopausal status, ethnic origin, number of births and their age at the birth of their first child were all taken into account. Breast feeding still lowered breast cancer risk by 4.3% for every year of feeding. There is also a 7% reduction in risk of breast cancer for each child born.
A 4% lowering of risk doesn't sound much. But, as breast cancer is quite a common disease in developed countries, breastfeeding every child for an extra 6 months would mean about 1,000 fewer cases of breast cancer in Britain each year.

This research is a major step in explaining the difference in breast cancer rates between the Western world and developing countries. In developing countries, women tend to have more children and to feed each of them for much longer. Interestingly, in Japan 90% of women who have children breastfeed. Japan is often talked about in relation to the incidence of breast cancer because, although it is obviously a developed country, breast cancer rates are much lower than they are in Western countries. Usually, people talk about diet as the explanation for this. But it may well be cultural differences in feeding babies that explains it.
These findings are important for helping us to prevent future cases of breast cancer. But the research may also help us in developing treatments. Any new knowledge about how breast cancer is triggered can help scientists to develop treatments to tackle it.

Researchers are now looking into whether breastfeeding can help to protect women who carry one of the breast cancer faulty genes – BRCA1 and BRCA2. One Swedish study, published in 2004, found that breastfeeding may reduce breast cancer risk for BRCA1 carriers who breast feed for more than a year in total. There was no difference for BRCA2 carriers. Since then, other studies have given conflicting results and so it isn't possible to draw definite conclusions about whether breastfeeding can change breast cancer risk in BRCA carriers. Research is continuing to try to find out whether breastfeeding reduces breast cancer risk in women with these gene changes.

Technique: Working with Pleather






Sewing Tips and Techniques

                                                                             Pleather

Hi all
Have you ever looked at a fabric and just fell in love. On your way home to have thoughts of all the projects you can use it for and with a wide grin an open possibilities you eagerly set out on your plans.... Sounds great right but what if you discover that you have never worked in this fabric before? It has happened to me before  an embarrassing amount of times but I always try to use it anyway and end up having to spend a colossal amount of time trying to learn about drapery and thread. So to help alleviate some of this guess work I'm going to try and talk on various fabrics and ways to deal with them.

Today I'm going to try and deal with some of the problems that can arise using pleather.

What is Pleather?
 This is a synthetic leather that is made from plastic. Pleather is often used as an inexpensive substitute for leather  and may also be preferred because it is lighter than leather.

Stitching
When stitching on pleather do not use small stitiches. You may run the risk of perforating the pleather and causing it to rip (think..."tear here on the perforated line).

Needle Size
Look for a size 11-16 needle when you want to sew pleather

Thread:
Use a synthetic durable thread like rayon, upholstery weight polyester or nylon.


Sewing Tips:

Also note when working with pleather do not pin. This will cause the pleather to have extra holes that you do not need. Instead use clips. When working with patterns lightly trace them out on the wrong side of the fabric  http://thecrafterscornerbvi.blogspot.com/
