Study: 3 Cups of Coffee a Day May Shrink Women's Breasts
DRINKING just three cups of coffee a day can make women's breasts shrink, researchers say.

Nearly 300 women were surveyed about their bust measurements and how many cups of coffee they drank in an average day.

According to the Swedish researchers, three cups a day was enough to start making breasts shrink, with the effects increasing for every cup drunk.

They said there was a clear link between drinking coffee and smaller breasts, as about half of women possessed a gene shown to link breast size to coffee intake.

"Drinking coffee can have a major effect on breast size," said Helena Jernstroem, a lecturer in experimental oncology at Lund University in Sweden.

2. Won't 3 cups of coffee result in ruined blouses and scalding?

3. We're going to have to start a revolution for the sake of women's breasts.
Let's go down to the Boston harbor and throw all the coffee into the water.

The Boston Teat Party, of course.

4. They put the best part of the study in the very last paragraph:
It was not all bad news for women, as the researchers also found that regular hits of caffeine could help to cut the risk of breast cancer.

24. the 2 effects go hand in hand
men who tend to have much smaller breasts for their body weight than women have a 1 in 200 chance of getting breast cancer as opposed to woman's 1 in 9 chance

previous generations of japanese women (who were small bosomed because of diet) had a lower rate of breast cancer than white women (who averaged bigger upstairs)

50. It ain't working on my wife.
We roast our own beans and grind it fresh every morning. She wants to have breast reduction surgery. I'm against it.

Actually her breasts are so heavy they affect her posture. One time, a few years ago, she was walking and dieting and got down to 125 pounds. Her breasts were like little tea cup beauties, lol. All of her weight gains go straight to her breasts.
