I like the cutting of 13 billion dollars in health costs.

Fox News had an article on the same study:

Their spin on it is to present breastmilk as an intervention that could save 900 babies who would normally have died, rather than saying that 900 American babies die every year because they weren't breastfed like normal.

It's always best to go straight to the source, rather than rely on a journalist's interpretation.
