French Fries cause Breast Cancer?

"Children who eat fries raise Breast Cancer Risk"

Thats the headline and I find it hard to believe. Researchers can survey the childhood eating habits of breast cancer women and determine those who ate Fries had cancer and those that didn't eat Fries did not have breast cancer..?? Heck, they even narrowed it down to one extra serving per week, per child, increases breast cancer risk 27%.

No wonder the researcher, Dr Michels, added this: "These data have to be interpreted cautiously since the observed association between consumption of French fries and breast cancer is dependent on the validity of the maternal recall of the diet," said Michels.

I'm sure being cautious about this would be well advised. I know Fries are not healthy but this seems to be a stretch. They also added that ice cream and hot dogs were healthier.
