New research suggests that breastfeeding may reduce a woman’s risk of breast cancer. The study, led by Professor Sherene Loi at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Australia, found that nursing triggers the production of immune cells in the breast that can detect and fight abnormal cells.
Loi explained that breastfeeding leads to the creation of CD8⁺ T cells, specialized immune cells that remain in the breast tissue for decades after childbirth. These cells act as guards, helping protect the breast from cancer long after nursing has ended. The study also highlighted the natural process of involution, where the breast undergoes remodeling before and after nursing, which stimulates the production of these protective cells.

Diddy began serving his 50-month federal prison sentence Thursday after being transferred to FCI Fort Dix, a low-security facility in New Jersey. The move follows his arrest in September 2024, and his legal team pushed for the transfer, citing the facility’s better resources for addressing drug abuse and family visitation.

This development comes just months after Patta signed a new three-year contract in August 2025, raising questions about media influence, particularly under new editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, who is known for her pro-Israel stance.
