Well, nice try GINA KOLATA!!! Everyone knows that you are biased against health food, that you are into champagne. That you're not into yoga, and you have half a brain! #cancer

If you could find a way to put the cure for cancer in one of these then maybe America would listen.
(Um, Christ, do people actually eat something that looks like it's slathered in volcanic lava? Yes, let's put that on our acid reflux. Looks like an ER trip to me.) #cancer

The "study" the story is built around was an epidemiological study, so it's based on correlations and data-mining, which anyone knows can be outcome-controlled simply by changing the end points.
The Times devotes one paragraph to this:
A small double-blind randomized study conducted at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center found that non-lactating women lost more body fat than lactating women at six months, and at a faster rate.
A double-blind randomized study is going to be far more accurate than data mining. Perhaps the danish people who tend to breast feed also tend to have more resilient metabolisms, or have different gut bacteria (which is usually genetic with geographic influences). But for the Times, all that really matters is press-release reporting and propagating nutrition myths. #health

Now, at the ripe ole age of 42, she frantically scans the supermarket aisle to find out from where the winter raspberries are imported. Hard to find some from Guatamala. #health
