Coffee Makes Your Boobs Smaller

Filed under: Style in the News

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.
