Coffee makes your breasts smaller
Nutty as it sounds, a study conducted by Lund University in Sweden recently found that downing three or more cups of java a day is enough to cause breasts to shrink.
According to the study’s lead researcher Helena Jernstrom, drinking coffee won’t actually cause breasts to disappear (which is obvious, otherwise I’d be completely flat-chested ; ). Jernstrom does claim, however, that out of the 300 women who took part in the study, those who drank more than three cups a day had breasts that were 17% smaller than those who drank less than three cups a day.
But don’t swear off coffee just yet if you want to preserve your bra size. The study also helped to confirm prior research showing that drinking caffeine regularly helps to reduce some women’s risk of breast cancer.
It’s also important to keep in mind that the volunteers in the Lund study all had a high risk of contracting breast cancer due to a strong family history of the disease. Jernstrom also pointed out that it’s still too early to make any definitive guidelines regarding coffee consumption.
So on that note, who’s up for Starbucks?
