Looking for Cracker Recipe

[Guest guest]

Does anyone have a vegan cracker recipe? I would like to make crackers for

my toddler because I can't find a cracker without cane sugar and other

ingredients I rather not introduce to his system at this time. Thanks!!!

Teen's Diet May Affect Breast Cancer Risk

> NEW YORK, NY (Reuters Health) -

> Teens who eat one egg every day may be somewhat protected from developing

breast cancer later in life, according to new research.

>

> Adolescent eaters of vegetable fat and fiber were also less likely to be

diagnosed with breast cancer as adults, while consumption of butter appeared

to increase risk.

>

> Recently, researchers have uncovered a potential link between eating and

lifestyle habits in the teen years and a woman's risk of breast cancer as an

adult. The current findings may encourage investigators to continue to

examine this relationship.

>

> Still, Dr. A. Lindsay Frazier of Harvard Medical School in Boston,

Massachusetts and her colleagues caution that the findings are preliminary,

and must be confirmed.

>

> The study required adult women to report what they had eaten as teens up

to 47 years prior, they write, and memories of such a long time ago may

certainly be flawed.

>

> But an increasing body of evidence suggests that what girls do and eat as

teens is related to their health risks as adults, Frazier and her team

report.

>

> For instance, Asian-American girls do not show rates of breast cancer

similar to those of American women unless they belong to the second or third

generation of immigrants born in the US. The Western diet has been

implicated in the higher risk of breast cancer among US women relative to

those from Asia, and the pattern seen in daughters of immigrants suggests

that only young eaters of the American diet are susceptible to its health

risks.

>

> In addition, teen girls who follow a relatively low-fat diet starting in

puberty have lower blood levels of hormones linked to breast cancer in

adulthood, while another study has shown that heavy exercise during

adolescence may cut later risk of breast cancer by 30%.

>

> During the current study, Frazier and her colleagues reviewed information

collected from 121,700 women. When these women were between 40 and 65 years

old, they completed a questionnaire detailing the foods they ate when they

were 12 to 18 years old.

>

> Reporting in the journal Breast Cancer Research, Frazier and her

colleagues found that women who ate one egg each day as teenagers were 18%

less likely to develop breast cancer as adults. Adult risk was also reduced

among teens who ate the most vegetable oils and fiber, relative to those who

reported having eaten the least.

>

> Women who said they ate one pat of butter each day as teens were at a

slightly higher risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer as adults.

>

> Eggs contain many healthy elements, Frazier and her team note, such as

essential amino acids, minerals, and vitamins. In terms of why fiber may

protect women against breast cancer, they suggest the nutrient could lower

body levels of estrogen, a hormone that encourages the growth of the

disease.
