Your daily fix may be responsible for your 32AA's. Drinking 3 or more cups of coffee a day can actually shrink your breast size. The UK Daily Mail reports that researchers have found a clear link between drinking coffee and tinier tatas. Half of all women have a gene that links breast size to coffee. The effect of coffee is related to its impact on estrogens, which are the female sex hormones.
Helena Jernstroem of Lund University says, "Coffee-drinking women do not have to worry their breasts will shrink to nothing overnight. They will get smaller, but the breasts aren't just going to disappear."
Some of us would argue when you turn sideways that is not the case, thank you very much!
Thinking of spending less time in line at Starbucks? There is a silver lining. Coffee has also been shown to reduce the risk of breast cancer. Jernstroem says, “This is new information that needs to be corroborated in other studies before we can issue any recommendations. If coffee does in fact provide some protection against breast cancer, then women in such a coffee-drinking country as Sweden ought to have fewer cases of cancer than other countries. This is also the case, at least compared with the U.S. There the proportion of breast cancer cases in the population is considerably higher, and there people drink both more decaffeinated coffee and less coffee in general.”
Will these findings affect how much coffee you drink (or don't?) or is there nothing that can come between you and the almighty bean?
