Shrinking boobs could be a result of drinking too much coffee
Could your morning coffee be making you boobs shrink? According to new research the answer is yes!
A study published in the British Journal of Cancer, has found that drinking caffeine over an extended period of time can have an effect on breast size. Even drinking as little as three cups of coffee a day regularly can impact on oestrogen levels to cause a noticeable reduction in size.
"Drinking coffee can have a major effect on breast size," said study author Helena Jernstroem of Lund University in Sweden.
The study also said that women with larger breasts will be most affected
Your caffeine fix won't turn you from Jordan into Kate Moss, just a smaller Jordan!
"Coffee-drinking women do not have to worry that their breasts will shrink to nothing overnight," said Jernstroem.
"They will get smaller, but the breasts aren't just going to disappear," she added.
Drinking too much coffee can have an opposite effect on men though. The study found that coffee has a different effect on testosterone than oestrogen, turning firm pecs into man boobs, or moobs.
Ladies may have too choose between boob size or safety though, as the same study found that drinking caffeine also helps protect against cancer. Jernstroem explained that there are substances in coffee that modify a woman's metabolism to make her more resistant to tumours.
The study measured the breast sizes of 300 women coffee drinkers. It found that women with larger breasts could be at a higher risk for cancer because they have more mammary glands.
