Couple of health stories coming up... Infants who are breast-fed are less likely to suffer from depression in adulthood, according to a new study. But the researchers find that amount of time a person was breast-fed has no bearing on the severity of later depression, the Daily Mail reported. They studied 52 people with an average age of 44 who were being treated for severe depression at an inpatient facility. The patients were considered to have been breast-fed if they, or their mothers, stated that they been nursed for more than two weeks.
