Coffee Makes Your Boobs Smaller

Coffee -- Harmful or Helpful?

    Ladies, we know you're aware of your breasts. Even if you're not at all vain, you watch them inflate and deflate monthly, when your weight fluctuates, or sometimes for seemingly no reason at all. Well, according to The Daily Mail, surprise breast shrinkage may be caused by excess coffee.

    From the article:
    "[Scienists] said there was a clear link between drinking coffee and smaller breasts as around half of all women possess a gene that has been shown to link breast size to coffee intake."

    Or maybe it's just that women who drink lots of coffee run around like crazy, so they weigh less, so their boobs shrink? All we know is that we really don't want this to be true.

    But fortunately it's not all bad. While your morning pick-me-up may be shrinking your boobs, scientists have also discovered a number of potential health benefits to drinking coffee. Studies have shown that it could reduce your risk of diabetes, colon cancer, Parkinson's disease -- even cavities!

    The key to many of coffee's potential health benefits are antioxidants, which protect against toxic free radicals, and in turn help prevent chronic disease.

    And there's more! In addition to protecting your body from potential long-term illness, coffee reportedly offers all kinds of everyday benefits -- from relieving headaches and managing asthma, to improving your mental performance.

Why are you spreading medical misinformation and lies on the Internet? From Oct 27 last year:

Worst Science Article of the Week: Drinking Coffee Shrinks Your Breasts? | Discoblog | Discover Magazine
http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/discoblog/2008/10/27/worst-science-article-of-the-week-drinking-coffee-shrinks-your-breasts/

Just goes to show you that any clown with a blog has no accountability for spreading truth versus bogus information.

I get the impression from the "headline"that if u soak your bra in some sort of liquid, it wll shrink. Makes sense. I have been drinking coffee for 35 years and my boobs are only getting larger. I don't need a smaller bra!

Somebody has too much time on their hands. This is ONE of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard -- and completely false! This person must live in an area of flat busted women. Whoever you are -- you need to get out of the house more!

Oh, Great! The one thing I looked forward to when my errant hormones settle down... a lovely cup of strong coffee in the morn. The smell; the taste; the experience. And now I see I can't ever have coffee again. Sigh. I'm going back to bed....

OH PLEASE, which dim bulb thought this one up? Do you have explicit medical research data to back up this ridiculous so called fact? Don't you have something better to do with your time, perhaps apply for a job at one of the stupid tabloid newspapers?

I drink a latte a day. I'd been small breasted for most of my life - until menopause. I can tell you that my breasts are bigger than ever, so disproving your theory that coffee shrinks breasts..as a matter of fact everything is bigger due to menopause!

Ohhh Please! Smaller boobs? I've been drinking coffee for about 40 plus years now. And I was always tiny. I was called the perfect 36. And that's not in the boobs. It was 12, 12 and 12, with 2 fried eggs broken, ya get the picture! And now it does this? plus they added this --- from relieving headaches and managing asthma, to improving your mental performance, too? Are they kidding me! If it did this, then why did I go through all them bad headaches years ago? Get real!

This is crazy talk. I have been drinking pots of coffee every day for many years and it has had no effect on me. I'm still waaaaaay too big and I wish I would shrink. It's backbreaking to carry all this extra weight around.

I'm with everyone else. I've been drinking coffee (and tea) for years, and I still have 36DD boobs (try working around those when you're only 5'1"! But I digress). And with all these purported health benefits of coffee, they forgot to add the potential for stained teeth, an irregular heartbeat (from the caffeine), and, for me, a nasty caffeine addiction that will cause massive headaches if I go without.

This is the biggest bunch of crap I've ever read. On the aol main page it shows an article "big salary no degree"...The one salary they should have put on there is writer for your staff, because I'm pretty sure this article was written by someone's 12 year old.
