LUND, Sweden, Oct. 19 (UPI) -- Drinking a lot of coffee reduces the size of many women's breasts, a Swedish researcher finds.
Helena Jernstrom, an oncologist at Lund University in southern Sweden, said that the effect is the result of a gene that about half of women possess, The Local reported.
"Drinking coffee can have a major effect on breast size," she said.
Jernstrom became interested in the subject because of research that has shown that large-breasted women are more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer, while downing at least three cups of coffee a day reduces cancer risk. She decided to look for a correlation directly between drinking coffee and breast size and found one.
Her study tracked 270 women. Jernstrom's results were published in the British Journal of Cancer.

Caffeine is a diuretic therefore it would reduce the amount fluid in the body.

Another article says the opposite is true for men; i.e., coffee increases "breast" size.

When that explains that...Bet Dolly Parton has never had coffee in her life.

I want a study on the effects of drinking coffee in the morning and then beer in the afternoon!
With a control group that drinks beer in the morning and coffee in the afternoon!
Has to be done during football season on the weekends!

I’m left to assume that in the absense of coffee they’d need their own wheelbarrow...

Keira Knightley is a good actress, but she needs to get off the Anorexia Diet.

Drinking a lot of coffee reduces the size of many women's breasts... Even if it's Mountain Grown?

Nah, she just stopped drinking coffee for the movie.

The news surprised me, since I was told coffee (caffeine in general) causes cysts in the breasts.
My doctor keeps urging me to quit the coffee, which I need for my ADD. I tell her, “Doctor, it’s the boobs or the brain.”
