There are loads of things you don't want your growing teen to eat too much of. You know, like junk food, chocolate, that sorta stuff. However, what if I were to tell you that there's one food you should be encouraging your teenage daughter to indulge in at least twice a week? One that could actually stave off breast disease? Ready for the magical food: peanut butter.

A recent study published in the Breast Cancer Research and Treatment journal reveals that pre-teens and teens who eat peanut butter twice a week have a 39 percent lower risk of developing breast disease, or benign breast disease. And get this: the effect seemed especially strong among girls who had some history of breast cancer in their family.

Time to grab some jelly, two pieces of whole wheat bread, and make her a sandwich. 

Sure, we hear things like this all the time, telling us what we should and shouldn't eat. One second, someone's telling us that celery has some magical power to make your skin appear shiny (it doesn't, that I know of), and the next we're wondering what watermelon juice can do for our hair. As hard as it is to take the constant stream of "scientific" information seriously, studies like this one make me personally want to believe that these super foods do exist.

I mean, come on: if eating an extra peanut butter and jelly sandwich or snacking on some apples and peanut butter every once in a while could help a growing girl avoid breast disease, then why not try it, right? Plus, the delicious stuff is packed with healthy saturated fats that are much better than the junk you'll find in all those candy bars.

Super Easy Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies Recipe That Beats a Sandwich Any Day

There's just something about a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. It's simple, delicious, and comforting. As amazing as the lunchbox staple is, however, these PB&J cookies are even better.

They're almost as easy to make as a sandwich too, and they take only five ingredients. Bonus: This recipe from All Recipes doesn't even contain flour so they're great for those who follow a gluten-free diet as well. I'm not going to tell you it's okay to eat these instead of a sandwich, but if you do, I won't tell.

PB & J Cookies

1 cup peanut butter
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons fruit preserves, any flavor
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

In a medium bowl, mix together peanut butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla until well blended.

Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Use a fork to make a criss-cross pattern on the top.

Make a small hole in the top of each cookie using the handle of a wooden spoon. Fill the holes with preserves.

Bake for 8 to 11 minutes in preheated oven. Allow to cool for a couple of minutes on the cookie sheets before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
