Breastfeeding and ovarian cancer risk: a systematic review and meta-analysis of 40 epidemiological study shows that:

The present systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to assess any association between breastfeeding and the risk of ovarian cancer.

A systematic search of published studies was performed in PUBMED and EMBASE and by reviewing reference lists from retrieved articles through March 2013.

Data extraction was conducted independently by two authors. Pooled relative risk ratios were calculated using random-effect models.

Total of 5 cohort studies and 35 case-control studies including 17,139 women with ovarian cancer showed a 30% reduced risk of ovarian cancer when comparing the women who had breastfed with those who had never breastfed (pooled RR = 0.70, 95% CI: 0.64-0.76; p = 0.00), with significant heterogeneity in the studies (p = 0.00; I2 = 76.29%).

A significant decreasd in risk of epithelial ovarian cancer was also observed (pooled RR = 0.68, 95% CI: 0.61-0.76).

When the participants were restricted to only parous women, there was a slightly attenuated but still significant risk reduction of ovarian cancer (pooled RR = 0.76, 95% CI: 0.69-0.83).

For total breastfeeding duration, the pooled RRs in the < 6 months, 6-12 months and > 12 months of breastfeeding subgroups were 0.85 (95% CI: 0.77-0.93), 0.73 (95% CI: 0.65-0.82) and 0.64 (95%CI: 0.56-0.73), respectively.

Meta-regression of total breastfeeding duration indicated an increasing linear trend of risk reduction of ovarian cancer with the increasing total breastfeeding duration (p = 0.00).

Breastfeeding was inversely associated with the risk of ovarian cancer, especially long-term breastfeeding duration that demonstrated a stronger protective effect.

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

b. has likely been extracted chemically rather than mechanically.

Explanation:                                          

When the oil extraction is mechanical, olives are squeezed with a machine till the oil comes out, the olive oil is of higher quality because there were no chemicals that interfered in the process. On the other hand, chemical extraction of oil from olives uses different substances to obtain the final product making the oil to be of low quality because some components were affected during the process
