Moms, daughters, weight and breast cancer
Well, THIS sure caught my eye --
From Weight Loss Trial Targets Breast Cancer:
Researchers are studying whether the mother-daughter bond can help promote weight loss in overweight breast cancer patients and their overweight, adult daughters in a new clinical trial at two cancer centers.
As a chubby kid growing up (uh, and a chubby woman now), I've been lucky enough to have my mother support me in my weight-loss efforts. Seeing as how maintaining a healthy weight has long been known to be a controllable factor in cancer prevention, this seems like an interesting study. It's actively recruiting mother-daughter pairs to participate -- check the website for details.
