Therefore, we investigated the associations between lactation durations and the maternal risk of ORC as well as endometrial, ovarian, and postmenopausal breast cancer individually. We included 6880 mothers from the Copenhagen

Animal‐ and Plant‐Source Protein‐Rich Foods Differ in Their Association With Maternal Micronutrient Status and Breast Milk Composition During Lactation

Intake of animal-source and plant-source foods within the protein-rich food group showed differential associations with maternal and breastmilk micronutrient biomarkers during lactation. Higher intake of animal-source protein-rich foods was positively associated with serum zinc and vitamin B12, whereas higher intake of plant-source protein-rich foods was inversely associated with breastmilk vitamin A in this cohort. ABSTRACT
