Brigham and Women’s Hospital researchers have
determined that eating
French fries during the early years of life is linked to a significant increase of developing breast cancer later in
life. Researchers believe this study, involving 2,000 nurses, further demonstrates the effect diet has during the early
formative years to health in later years. As part of the Nurses’ Health Study and the Nurses’ Health Study
II, mothers filled out a questionnaire in which they indicated which of 30 foods their daughter ate between the ages of
three to five years old. According to the researchers, they found that each additional serving of French fries per week represented a 27 percent increased risk of breast cancer. Potatoes were not the problem. The cooking method of frying French fries in saturated fats and trans fats seemed to be what created the increased breast cancer risk. One more bit of bad news from the fast food nation.
