New study shows that Coffee shrinks breasticles...

Could the amount of coffee you consume have an affect on your cup size? It sounds outrageous, but a new study from Swedish researchers claims that there may be some truth to the idea. Their findings and whether or not you should be concerned, after the jump ...

According to a study published in the British Journal of Cancer, that questioned 300 women about how much coffee they drank per day, women who drank three or more cups of coffee per day had breasts that were 17 percent smaller than women who drank less than three cups per day.

The researchers say it all boils down to this: Too much caffeine, they say, can have an impact on the body's hormones, which can affect breast size.

"Drinking coffee can have a major effect on breast size," lead researcher Helena Jernstrom of Lund University in Sweden, told the Telegraph. "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."

Yikes, well that's not so resassuring.

So should you stop drinking coffee? I say no. There are some things about this study that don't exactly sound the alarm. First, it was self-reported--meaning that the information was gathered based on each subject's memory. When one woman recalls drinking three cups of coffee, it might have actually been six cups of coffee (and were they double lattes?) or just two. So, there's ambiguity there. Also, in terms of studies, this one was rather small. While 300 women might sound like a lot, meaningful, applicable data is best taken from much larger studies.

The takeaway message? Don't feel compelled to ditch your daily coffee habit--especially if you enjoy it and it makes you happy (seriously, coffee makes me happy!). But, I think this study is a good reminder of the old saying: "all things in moderation." So, keep your coffee intake under three cups (or three shots) per day say medical experts.

How much coffee or other caffeinated beverages do you drink a day? If you drink large amounts, just curious, do you have small breasts? Let's do an informal Vitamin G survey ...
