Nicholas Bakalar disproves the popular belief that breast-feeding children leads to leaner children. He does this by citing data from a study that was carried out in 31 different hospitals. The experiment had two groups: children who were breast-fed and children who were not. The researchers followed the children through age 11 and found that there was no difference in height, weight, or fat percentage between the two groups.
With this, the author is able to prove that the previously assumed theory is likely false.
