There is absolutely no greater feeling than a hot cup of coffee in the morning to get the day started. But as fantastic and energizing this beverage is, it also has its effects in the body as medical science has found that drinking at least three cups of coffee a day can shrink a women's breast.
According to study carried out on 300 women, researchers deduced that 3 cups of coffee a day was enough to start making a female's breasts shrink, with the effects increasing for every cup taken.
The brain behind the discovery, Helena Jernstroem who is a lecturer in experimental oncology at Lund University in Sweden 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.
According to Helena "Drinking coffee can have a major effect on breast size."
Nevertheless she added that "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,' she explained.
It's not all bad news for women however as the researchers also found that regular hits of caffeine can help to cut the risk of developing breast cancer
Scientists have said that the effect of coffee is related to its impact on estrogens, the female sex hormones.
Some substances in coffee can change a woman's metabolism so she acquires a better configuration of various estrogens, therefore lowering the potential risk. But women with bigger breasts that contain more mammary glands are at a higher risk, the scientists added.
