Coffee can lead to breast shrinking for women. The effect increases with every cup of coffee.
In a recent study, the Swedish researchers have come to the conclusion. They also found that three cups a day was enough to start making breasts shrink, with the effects increasing for every cup drunk.
Helena Jernstroem, a lecturer in experimental oncology at Lund University in Sweden said,
“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.However, anyone who thinks they can tell which women are coffee drinkers just from their bra measurements will be disappointed. The problem is that there are two measures for a bra - the cup size and the girth - so you wouldn’t be able to tell.”
To conclude, the researchers also said that regular hits of caffeine could help to cut the risk of breast cancer.
