AppId is over the quota

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.
What do you think about this?

Lunch is a tricky meal. Most of us eat it frantically, either over our desks or on the go throughout our day. At breakfast we can often eat at a more leisurely pace. At dinner we have time to have fun and explore different recipes to be shared with the whole family.
It's a good thing the Lohans are a photogenic family, because their mugshot gallery just keeps getting bigger! And nope, we're not talking about now (hopefully) sober LiLo -- this time, it's 50-year-old Dina Lohan who's in trouble with the law, getting 
Bad news for Kanye West this week. Kim Kardashian's beau may have avoided felony charges for his scuffle with paparazzi a few months back, but his nightmare is far from over.

There is one thing that I'm sick to death of: The rumors running rampant about casting Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie. Can't they just figure it out already??? There is also one thing I will never, ever get sick of: Game of Thrones. So when Emilia Clarke, who plays Daenerys Targaryen on the hit HBO show, is rumored yet again to be

Most of us think of blood work as rather routine. But a new blood test that may be available in the future sounds like it would be anything but ordinary. In fact, it sounds like it has the potential to be downright controversial and even questionable ... According to Indiana University School of Medicine researchers, a "
When Khloe Kardashian Instagrams words instead of a pretty picture, you can be pretty sure she's trying to say something -- and we'd all better listen up. What message have you for us this day, great oracle? Khloe tweets: "Never judge someone without knowing the whole story. 
If you were to tweet at E.L. James today asking about Fifty Shades of Grey movie casting news, you'd probably still receive a snarky response about how they're still far off from making any sort of "final decision." And I'm sure that is probably still true. However, the latest buzz from a believable source leads us to believe that they're VERY close. So close in fact that we may have our Christian and Ana soon after Labor Day!
Kanye West and Kim Kardashian got a piece of news they've been waiting for since July. The rapper and new father will not be facing felony charges for one of his (many) scuffles with paparazzi -- this one last month at the Los Angeles airport when he was caught on video lunging at the cameras.
I've seen it everywhere, but I've only recently learned how to say it: Acai berry. You pronounce it ah-sigh-EE or ah-sah-EE. The tropical berry from South and Central America is supposed to have all sorts of potent health powers. Acai is rich in anthocyanins, flavonoids, and antioxidants. This means acai should help protect your body's cells, defending you from harmful, cancer-causing free radicals, and helping to slow the aging process. Acai berries are believed to be higher in antioxidants than other berries, like blueberries and raspberries.

As someone who struggled with anorexia for my entire adolescence and a large part of my childhood, I've always felt that the way in which the condition is treated generally misses the mark. Sure, society's unrealistic expectations for women's bodies and the fashion industry's glorification of emaciated teenagers aggravate symptoms, but anorexia is first and foremost a disease, not the byproduct of a beauty-obsessed culture. Which is why I was interested to learn about a recent study that could change the way doctors and therapists view anorexia entirely: Researchers at Cambridge University have found that girls with anorexia "
Confession: I don't care about superheroes. Not one teensy weensy bit. I mean, sure, I can work up a mild interest in the genre for the sake of my son or whatever, but I've never given a second (or first) thought as to who might play Batman/Superman/Spider-Man/Whoeverelseman ... until now. Because on the short list to play the Caped Crusader in the upcoming
