Breast health linked to eating peanut butter and nuts

(I don't know how they come up with these articles....  I grew up eating P&J sandwiches because it was all I liked to eat in school for lunch.  Dx with large fibradenoma age 18, then stage 2a IDC age 49 same breast.  i guess I'm the outlyer. )

    No you're not.  Grew up eating peanuts and peanut butter; still have peanut- or almond butter on my toast in the morning.  Still got breast cancer.  I wish they'd spend research money on finding better treatments.

    Wouldn't it be nice if all we had to do was eat a certain food to avoid this beast. Sigh.

    Me either Selena. Good grief every other day there is a new food or food group that causes breast cancer. My sister and I had the misfortune of getting BC because our mother had it. She and I are polar opposites so all the so called criteria that gets you the disease is just speculation and for the record I didnt fit any of them. They also told us that 70% of BC patients are not genetically connected. So we are high risk because of our mother but the vast majority are not affected because of genetics. Which is it? Its more likely my sister and I carried the gene. I am not going to start eating some of the things they propose that prevent BC or a recurrence because duh I already have it and I dont think those foods are the culprits of a recurrence and btw I have been eating peanut butter and nuts too for as long as I can remember. My sister did not. Diane

    Along with all the other things I did "right", I grew up on peanut butter....had a PBJ sandwich just an hour before I saw this.   Whatever..........

    Good lord....what will they waste research money on next?  Loved the last expert comment about eating more PB and nuts and avoiding sugar and junk food.... like peanut butter and nuts won't make you fat.  Maybe they were funded by the "nut" industry.  Seems odd they wouldn't have studied 9000 teenage boys to see if more PB and nut eating reduced prostate and testicular cancer.  Just sayin....
