Breast Cancer and French Fries

A new study from Harvard Medical School suggests that the risk of breast cancer increases with every serving of french fries consumed between the ages of three and five. The culprits seem to be the high saturated fats and trans-fatty acids used for frying. The study, while potentially important, is dependent on mothers’ ability to recall their daughters’ toddler diets, and therefore subject to some margin of error. As with all such medical information, you may wish to discuss with your own doctor and other health care professionals.
