"Breastfeeding Causes Tooth Decay." That Headline made The News.

Here's what the study actually did: rats with no saliva glands, fed sugar water, soda, milk, and breast milk. Soda destroyed their teeth, breast milk barely registered. Guess which one got the scary headline. The headline screamed breastfeeding causes decay. Who funded it? Abbott Laboratories. The formula company.

This is why you can't trust headlines. Your kid's teeth aren't rotting because you breastfed. They're rotting because their airway didn't develop properly and now they’re mouth breathing and drying up their saliva, their best defense against cavities.
