The phrasing of that "rumor" is less than accurate. The correct relationship is that women who breastfeed have a reduced chance of developing breast cancer. Additionally, the longer a woman breastfeeds, the more protection the breastfeeding provides. Basically, breastfeeding serves as one protective factor against developing breast cancer. Other factors include diet and exercise.
