For daughters roles were reversed. If their mothers were employed they tended to Spend less time with their children. But, if mothers were homemakers their daughters tended to stay home more.

This study was based on a survey of college men and women conducted by psychologist Heidi Riggio of Claremont McKenna College. The study size was 351 students.

Dr Bobs Take: Although this study was small additional studies are needed to verify results. So Moms and Dads don’t change what you are doing based on this study.

Breast Cancer And..

Several studies have recently come out linking diet with increased risk of cancer. The first is that breast cancer is more frequent in obese women who have a low HDL (the good cholesterol). This study was by Norway’s University of Tromso. HDL does not have an active role in development of breast cancer but may act as a signal to pay more attention to women with low HDL.

In another study co authored by Dr Walter Willett of Harvard School of Public Health and Instituto Nacionalde Salud Public of Mexico has shown an increase in breast cancer in women on a high carb diet. Women in Mexico were twice more likely to get breast cancer if they were on a high carbohydrate diets than those who ate less starch.

Dr Bob’s Take: it has been known for a long time that obesity carries a higher risk of breast cancer and each of these studies goes on to verify this, only in different ways. With rise in obesity in this country, I am especially concerned about our children and their increases in obesity, you could surmise that this could mean that breast cancer could be detected at younger ages as time goes on.

While results took place in test tubes, this certainly would be something to keep in mind for children and adults who get throat and ear infections.

Don't over do juice!

I do want to warn you that excessive consumption of juices. Drinking too much fruit juice can contribute to obesity, development of cavities (dental caries), diarrhea, and other gastrointestinal problems, such as excessive gas, bloating and abdominal pain. Children especially, as their bodies are smaller for amount of juice ingested.

Recipe

Consider this more of a medicinal drink than a beverage, and you will do fine. Probably a cup for an adult, and a half cup for a child twice a day, until symptoms abate.

1 tea bag of Green Tea or Chai Green Tea (Chia green tea contains ginger, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and clove along with green tea) 2 cups unsweetened Cranberry Juice

Bring one pint of water to a rolling boil. Insert your tea bag and steep 3 to 6 minutes. Pour into a one quart container. Add two cups of unsweetened Cranberry Juice. Store in refrigerator and use within three days.

You can drink this cold or warm it up and drink. If you have used regular green tea you can add a very small pinch of any of spices mentioned above that is in Chia tea, for more flavor.
